SynopsisThe Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz is intended as an introduction and an interpretation of seven decades of recorded jazz, as a statement about its major figures, their accomplishments, and their effect. It is also a beginning library of jazz. Necessarily, many worthy figures and groups are left out of it, and others are perhaps not ideally represented. (Does a rare talent like Ben Webster's deserve more than his solos here with Moten and Ellington? Does the absence of John Coltrane's Giant Steps unduly neglect an important aspect of his career)?I hope the set offers a balanced view - balanced in the sense that major figures are given major attention, and balanced under the conviction that once the contributions of such figures are appreciated, the work of their worthy, sometimes distinctive followers will also be clear.The set also serves to remind listeners that final credit goes to the men and women who made this music and to those sometimes anonymous , sometimes visionary, and, yes, sometimes opportunistic people who recorded it for the rest of us.ISBN: B001WYXZSM Release Date: January 1987 Publisher: The Smithsonian Format: Paperback Length: 120 Pages Weight: 0.60 lbs.
