Rendition Toward Books Come il jazz può cambiarti la vita

Non è solo musica, il jazz. È anche un modo di stare nel mondo, e un modo di stare con gli altri. Al cuore della sua "filosofia" ci sono l'unicità e il potenziale di ciascun individuo, uniti però alla sua capacità di ascoltare gli altri e improvvisare insieme a loro. È stato creato dai discendenti degli schiavi, ma sa parlare di libertà. È figlio della malinconia del blues, ma sa lasciarsi andare alla felicità più pura. Le sue radici sono nella tradizione, ma la sua sfida è la continua innovazione. E anche se vive di tensioni armoniche e ritmiche, ha saputo e sa essere ancora messaggero di pace. Wynton Marsalis fa leva sulla sua eccezionale storia artistica e sull'eredità dei grandi maestri per introdurci in questo universo fatto di opposti che si riconciliano. Con la passione del protagonista racconta storie del presente e del passato. Con la competenza dello studioso spiega cosa e come ascoltare. E soprattutto mostra come le idee centrali del jazz possano aiutare le persone e le comunità a cambiare il loro modo di pensare e di agire, con se stesse e le une con le altre.

Discuss Epithetical Books Come il jazz può cambiarti la vita

Wynton Marsalis' "Moving to Higher Ground," has the sub-title, "How Jazz can Change Your Life," and he seems to have created a new hybrid, the jazz memoir self-help book. He's done a pretty good job of it. Mr. Marsalis gives us history, memoir, musical theory, and pocket biographies of the innovators - where he rakes Miles over the coals for being a young genius and an old sell-out. Mr. Marsalis educates and inspires, and doesn't pull his punches.In Mr. Marsalis' world-view, swing is the ne plus

This was perhaps one of the most inspiring and captivating pieces of non-fiction I have ever read. This book is about what Jazz is and how the influence and understanding of Jazz (truly the best thing that Americans have created) can affect every aspect of your life. Even if you're not a musician, this book is extremely approachable and will help you become familiar with one of the best and most innovative forms of American art. Though it is not completely auto-biographical, the reader gets to

Being a fan of jazz (I'm listening to Miles Davis, McCoy Tyner, and Thelonious Monk as I write this), the book interested me. But even better was how Marsalis demonstrated what jazz can teach us. OK, the subtitle is a little overstated, but still there are valuable lessons.The first chapter talks about how jazz encourages both individual expression as well as working together as a group, which has applicability in so many areas of life. The second chapter sets forth the vocabulary of jazz, which

I read this book in 2017, and now I think I really knew what is jazz music and swings.

This book had been on my "to read" bookshelf much too long. I wish I had read it sooner. Recently, I have found myself drawn to listening jazz and blues much more than regularly. After reading it, I understand why. I am looking for music for meat on its bones, and the place to find that is definitely in jazz and blues. Why? Because as Marsalis eloquently states, the starting point for playing jazz is the complete mastery of one's instrument. This has to be combined with the ability to

This book is a very powerful and inspiring read. I initially read it thinking it would be specifically directed at musicians, and while there is a lot to say about musical skills, it also discusses identity and it's context in society. I really liked this book because it was very self-motivating for me and I think because of it, I'm not only a better musician, but I'm a better and more creative person. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in jazz music or looking for how they can

This is a book discussion read. But, I have always admired Wynton Marsalis' ability to waiver between classical and jazz. I subscribe to his site on ITunes and learned of this book, which I recommended to my reading group. He is, truly, in my estibmation, an American Teasure. Even though this is a re-read for me, I'm going to enjoy it. This has been beyond my expectation. As an amateur musician (piano) I appreciated the musical tech-talk and the background of the metrics in jazz. The last part
