ISBN: 9781944853327.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith an ear for the overlooked, Aaron Gilbreath chronicles the forgotten corners of the mid-century jazz scene. Shadowing the greats from Sonny Clark to John Coltrane, Gilbreath traces the tragedy of saxophonist Hank Mobley, unearths the story of self-exiled pianist Jutta Hipp, and pauses on the meaning of heroin for trumpeter Lee Morgan. He also revisits a few standards, like The Connection, an influential film with its own take on drugs and sobriety; the ten-year evolution of Miles Davis \"So What\"; and the impact of record labels vault archives. This Is: Essays on Jazz celebrates the joy, genius and struggle of jazz, in essays both intimate and deeply researched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Outpost19","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44780985974837,"sku":"ByrdShop_1944853324","price":24.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_1944853324_fe886e00-ace3-4653-bf91-dde99dae4d2c_21ede093-7025-49cc-b690-da7347aaeb90.jpg?v=1792300517","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/this-is-essays-on-jazz-9781944853327","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
