Recenzii

'In seven intelligent, uncranky, well-written chapters, scholar and pianist Gioia provides a compelling primer on jazz aesthetics.' Booklist
'In a series of short, pithy articles Gioia (pronounced 'Joya') tackles questions that most of us involved in jazz never stop to ask ourselves, maybe because they would make us uncomfortable. This is provocatively readable and, while not your average jazz book, it should make those who listen to and/or observe this music think about what it is they're doing.'Brian Priestley, Jazz Express
'This excellent book attempts to fit jazz into its proper cultural context and by implication correct many prejudices, illusions and errors of judgement. Clarity of writing and viewpoint makes for a stimulating read.'Declan O'Driscoll, In Dublin
