Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

...a fine new book from Peter Vacher (JazzUk contributor, Guardian writer and much else) which presents no fewer than 21 of his unfailingly excellent interviews with American jazz musicians including Gerald Wilson, Ruby Braff, Bill Berry, Ellis Marsalis, Rufus Reid and many more. --JazzUK

I can honestly say that 'Mixed Messages' is a really absorbing work. Interviewing performers requires both journalistic skill and extensive musical knowledge, and Vacher has the talent to a draw many marvellous stories and artistic insights from his subjects. Crucially, a great love of jazz shines through these pages. --www.jazzcamera.co.uk

Fascinating stories, plenty of fresh insights, lots of rare photographs, a helpful index: a very good scholarly addition to any jazz library. --London Jazz

Reseña del editor:

From journeymen musicians to stars with many albums to their name, Mixed Messages includes interviews with 21 American jazz musicians - on music, mostly, but the world intrudes, as it does with the best of jazz music. The musicians range from the trombonist Louis Nelson, who was born in 1902, through the New Orleans pianist Ellis Marsalis, who is still playing, and on to Byron Stripling, who plays trumpet with his Columbus Jazz Orchestra. Mixed Messages is lavishly illustrated with rare and original photographs, and will be of interest to any serious follower of jazz.
