[ED: Halbleineneinband mit Schutzumschlag (Hardcover)], [PU: University of California Press / Center for Black Music Research], Schutzumschlag etwas gebrauchsspurig und am Rücken etwas lichtverblasst - ansonsten sauberes und gutes Exemplar. XXIV, 246 Seiten. Mit einigen schwarzweißen Abbildungen im Text. ISBN-10: 0520215230. EAN/ISBN-13: 9780520215238. Klappentext/Beschreibung: VERLAGSINFO: When Ferdinand »Jelly Roll« Morton sat at the piano in the Library of Congress in May of 1938 to begin his monumental series of interviews with Alan Lomax, he spoke of his years on the West Coast with the nostalgia of a man recalling a golden age, a lost Eden. He had arrived in Los Angeles more than twenty years earlier, but he recounted his losses as vividly as though they had occurred just recently.The greatest loss was his separation from Anita Gonzales, by his own account »the only woman I ever loved« to whom he left almost all of his royalties in his will. In »Dead Man Blues«, Phil Pastras sets the record straight on the two periods (1917-1923 and 1940-1941) that Jelly Roll Morton spent on the West Coast. In addition to rechecking sources, correcting mistakes in scholarly accounts, and situating eyewitness narratives within the histories of New Orleans or Los Angeles, Pastras offers a fresh interpretation of the life and work of Morton, one of the most important and influential early practitioners of jazz. Pastras’ discovery of a previously unknown collection of memorabilia - including a 58-page scrapbook compiled by Morton himself - sheds new light on Morton's personal and artistic development, as well as on the crucial role played by Anita Gonzales. In a rich, fast-moving, and fascinating narrative, Pastras traces Morton's artistic development as a pianist, composer, and bandleader. Among many other topics, Pastras discusses the complexities of racial identity for Morton and his circle, his belief in voodoo, his relationships with women, his style of performance, and his roots in black musical traditions. Not only does »Dead Man Blues« restore to the historical record invaluable information about one of the great innovators of jazz, it also brings to life one of the most colorful and fascinating periods of musical transformation on the West Coast.
