In this collection, Shipton has drawn together conversations with some of the key jazz pianists. Spanning the period from the birth of bebop to the present, their collective experience is a major part of jazz piano history. Shipton's sympathetic yet probing interviews uncover the fascinating life stories of these legendary jazz performers. He also probes their technique, allowing them to describe how they developed their individual playing styles. This book will fascinate all fans of jazz, as well as students of jazz piano and performance.
