umum_cypher Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) I recently read a really interesting piece by Forrester on Hodeir's Jazz: Its Evolution and Essence in a 1956 issue of Jazz Monthly. Unlike most reviews of that book, this article is full of a combative, take-no-prisoners, dose-of-common-sense attitude. (I don't agree with it all, but it's a very strong and stylistically slightly strange critical voice). I've never heard of Forrester, and - seeing as he shares a name with a Southern Syncopated Orchestra trombonist - I wonder if he was writing pseudonymously. Has anyone read any other pieces? And does anyone know if that was his real name, or anything else about him? Edited May 14, 2012 by umum_cypher Quote
