BeBop Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Heading overseas for a while. Want to pack one jazz book (knowing I won't be able to hear any jazz while traveling and knowing I won't be able to pick up a jazz book while overseas). The following books are unread on the bookshelf. Have persused the cover notes, but want to pick the best of the bunch: Bill Evans: How My Heart Sings (Pettinger) - Obviously, this has received some 'ink' here and on other boards, so I know more about this than the others. Jazz Profiles (Carver/Bernstein) - Again, a fairly widely read book. Blue Bossa: A Novel (Schneider) Bebop: The Music and Players (Owens) Forces in Motion: The Music and Thoughts of Anthony Braxton (Lock) Any thoughts? Quote
JSngry Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Forces in Motion: The Music and Thoughts of Anthony Braxton (Lock) Look at that! You answered your own question! Quote

ghost of miles Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Braxton, baby, Braxton! Quote
Brad Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 I hate to admit this but I picked up the Owens Bebop book a while ago and never got a chance to read this. What's your views on this? Quote
