Soul
Jazz is a history of jazz and its reception in the black community in
the period from the end of World War II until the end of the Vietnam
War. Previous histories reflect the perspective of an integrated
America, yet the United States was a segregated country in 1945. The
black audience had a very different take on the music and that is the
perception explored in Soul Jazz. Bob Porter is
a record producer, writer and broadcaster in the fields of Jazz and
Blues. He has worked for such prominent record labels a Prestige, Savoy
and Atlantic. He has produced more than 175 albums and several hundred
reissues. He has contributed to DownBeat, JazzTimes, Jazz Journal
(London) and currently writes a book review column for the Journal of
the International Association of Jazz Record Collectors. He is a
two-time Grammy winner, was awarded the Marion McPartland Award for
Excellence in Jazz Broadcasting and is a member of the Blues Foundation
Hall of Fame. He currently is the host of three separate radio programs
on WBGO Newark.Available In The Following Formats From Xlibris E-Book Softcover Hardcover http://bookstore.xlibris.com/ Also Available From Amazon.com |
