Leyendas del jazz

There is music that is heard. Jazz, furthermore, is inhabited. Born from memory, freedom and the desire to create, jazz has given voice to generations of artists who transformed human experience into sound. In his notes passion and silence, pain and hope, humor and spirituality, intelligence and instinct coexist. Each improvisation is a story; each story, a way of understanding the world. This book brings together the women and men who made that miracle possible. From Jelly Roll Morton to the great legends who expanded their borders, their lives and music reveal a universe where authenticity is the only language, and emotion, the only truth. This is an invitation to explore that inexhaustible territory where jazz remains alive: eternal, free and deeply human.
