À propos de ce produit

Product Information

In the 1930s swing music was everywhere--on radio, recordings, and in the great ballrooms, hotels, theatres, and clubs. Perhaps at no other time were drummers more central to the sound and spirit of jazz. Benny Goodman showcased Gene Krupa. Jimmy Dorsey featured Ray McKinley. Artie Shaw helped make Buddy Rich a star while Count Basie riffed with the innovative Jo Jones. Drummers were at the core of this music; as Jo Jones said, "The drummer is the key--the heartbeat of jazz." An oral history told by the drummers, other musicians, and industry figures, Drummin' Men is also Burt Korall's memoir of more than fifty years in jazz. Personal and moving, the book is a celebration of the music of the time and the men who made it. Meet Chick Webb, small, fragile-looking, a hunchback from childhood, whose explosive drumming style thrilled and amazed; Gene Krupa, the great showman and pacemaker; Ray McKinley, whose rhythmic charm, light touch, and musical approach provided a great example for countless others, and the many more that populate this story. Based on interviews with a collection of the most important jazzmen, Drummin' Men offers an inside view of the swing years that cannot be found anywhere else.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • Drummin' Men is essential reading for drummers, scholars, jazz lovers

    The best (if not the only?) written volume dedicated to the greatest drummers of the Swing Era in the great jazz centers of the USA (New York, Chicago, New Orleans, W.Coast etc), primarily in the 1930s and '40s. This medium-sized volume contains intimate reflections on the most innovative master drummers of that time with quotes from specific drummers talking about their peers--their lives, artistic greatness, and minute details that really bring those brilliant musicians to life. Its value is beyond measure, if you are a drummer yourself, a jazz lover, serious fan, or just looking to enrich your knowledge of the performing arts in America.
