Remembering Song: Encounters with the New Orleans Jazz Tradition'Frederick Turner is steeped in the lore of New Orleans, not just the music that boiled up out of that melting pot of cultures but the social milieu as well. His Remembering Song is the most perceptive and penetrating treatment of the formative period of jazz to come along in years. Frankly, I can't recall any study that compares with it for sensitivity of understanding and beauty of writing....This is a book that everyone should be reading.'--W. Royal Stokes, Jazzline. |
