E-raamat: Jazz from Detroit

"Mark Stryker covered jazz and its people for the Detroit Free Press for decades. He uses his reporter's eye and critic's ear to chronicle the musicians from the city who made their mark on the world." * NPR's Fresh Air * "Though Detroit is known for its legendary Motown music, former Detroit Free Press journalist Strykers exceptional book shows in swinging detail why the city was also a major focal point for jazz. . . . This astute music history will be a boon for jazz fans." * Publisher's Weekly * "This is a really interesting book. Once you read it, youre guaranteed to wind up chasing down dozens of records ... Ive always known I should learn more about his deep catalog, I just never have until now. Its a perfect summer project." * Phil Freeman, Stereogum * "Ask the question, where does jazz happen, and the likely answer will be New York (or New Orleans, for the historically minded). No one is going to mention Detroit, not even dedicated jazz fans. But take out a piece of paper and write down the names of great and notable jazz musicians, and time and again their personal and/or musical home town will turn out to be the Motor City. Skip the paper and pen and glance through the table of contents of Mark Strykers new book ... Detroit jazz has a fine tribute in this book." * George Grella, Brooklyn Rail * "Building on his many years of covering the jazz scene in Detroit, Stryker (long-time journalist for the Detroit Free Press) has produced an important book about many of the luminaries of Motown. ... Highly recommended." * K. R. Dietrich, CHOICE * " This is one of the best jazz books on such a focused topic in quite a while." -- Robert Iannapollo * ARSC Journal * "Jazz from Detroit is full of anecdotes and witty stories that will put a smile on the reader's face. As a journalist with a vast experience covering jazz, Stryker uses his knowledge and relationships with esteemed musicians to inform his discussions. . . . Jazz from Detroit will be entertaining to jazz aficionados and might encourage a younger generation of scholars and journalists to engage more thoroughly with living, modern-day musicians." -- Alexander Gagatsis * Jazz and Culture * Comprehensive, musically literate, striking in its depth, and essential. * Jazzwise * Jazz from Detroit flows with memorable in-person color, deep research, and musical descriptions that feel at once technically adept and elegant. * Tidal * Winner: Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) 2020 Awards for Excellence Best Historical Research in Recorded Jazz: Certificate of Merit * ARSC Award for Excellence Best Historical Research in Recorded Jazz * Winner: Jazz Journalists Association 2020 Jazz Award for Book of the Year About Jazz * JJA Jazz Award for Book of the Year About Jazz *
