I was sitting in the my dentist office, and he had this wonderful coffee table book, that turned out to be a great compilation of the chronological journey through the story of Jazz. It is called JAZZ - The Complete Story published by Flame Tree Publishing in 2007. It has been put together by a number of Authors and Consultant editors. The general editor is Julia Rolf.
I will be posting excerpts from this book pertinent to the biggest influence on my musical journey.
Be it jazz, afro-Cuban, Brazililan influenced, it has got to swing. If you exam the music coming from Cuban and Brazilian composer, you will hear what swing really is. When we get into Funk, then Soul you feel "the groove". The bottom line is this music moves your body and soul. More to come....
