fasstrack Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) I find myself an insatiable reader lately and would like to pass on some recommendations for your consideration: Warne Marsh: An Unsung Cat (Safford Chamberlin--Scarecrow) This not only plumbs the depths of Marsh's life and the reasons he wasn't better known in scores of interviews with colleagues, friends, his ex-wife, etc. but also has several transcriptions of solos by this master improvisor. Music, The Brain, and Ecstacy (Richard Jourdain) I mentioned this before. It's a pianist/scientist's excellently organized and presented views and data on how the creative mind is organized, remembers, and works---and how, why, and to what listeners of music respond. Also: cheapie collections of poetry of Langston Hughes (In Time of Silver Rain and the Final Corner among my favorites), Shakespeare (Midsummer Night's Dream, R&J), Homer. The preceding were all $4 or less, boogie on, poor but happy dude. Edna St. Vincent Millay is next. Ooh La la.

fasstrack Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Does anyone know how to get a cheap copy of Unsung Cat? (preferably with the companion CD). That one's definitely a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
