[EAN: 9780826447203], Neubuch, [PU: Continuum International Publishi], GENERAL AAS AFRICAN AMERICAN & BLACK HISTORY CRITICISM JAZZ STUDIES, Jacket, New, Hardcover with dust jacket, clean, tight, unmarked, minor shelfwear and scuf marks A fast-tempo autobiography that spans seminal moments in the history of jazz, Los Angeles, and the black experience in America. Until recently, the West Coast jazz scene occupied an unjustifiably obscure place in jazz history. Yet, in the heyday of jazz, the Los Angeles Central Avenue scene was a mecca for Hollywood stars and other jazz buffs who wanted to hear the music of people like Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Mingus, and Chico Hamilton. The Central Avenue Sounds Research Project at UCLA has done much to ensure that Central Avenue is recognized, along with Harlem and New Orleans, as the birthplace of jazz. Buddy Collette - a key figure in American jazz since the early 1940's - is unusual in that, while based on the West Coast, he won a truly international following. Collette worked closely with Mingus, went on to join the Chico Hamilton Quartet, and later played with Theloniou. All orders are shipped by kbooks every business day.<
