Publisher's Summary
Jazz is a relatively new art form. It's melodic and harmonic language has evolved throughout the past 100 years from one great innovator passing on his discoveries to the next as a kind of artistic baton passing. The piano has always lead the harmonic language of jazz, so in order to truly understand the evolution of this music, one must understand the lineage of the music's greatest piano players. In this book, Richie Beirach provides his incisive and at times inside knowledge of these 10 great piano players who defined the language of jazz. Part history, part technical exploration, and part candid observations you won't find anywhere else, The Lineage of Modern Jazz Piano is a concise overview of the ten men who through their talent and courage, defined jazz. For each, Richie identifies three essential albums that best reflect the greatness in these artists.
