Drummin' Men: The Heartbeat of Jazz: The Bebop YearsFrom Library Journal The drummer is one of the jazz band's most important members, providing the energy, pulse, and drive that can make or break a unit. Korall illuminates these points and more in his latest offering, a fine follow-up to his Drummin' Men: The Heartbeat of Jazz; The Swing Years, which was published in 1990. A jazz authority whose writings have appeared in such publications as the New York Times, Modern Drummer, and the Village Voice, Korall is also a jazz drummer and can thus talk knowledgeably about various stylistic aspects of drumming. As in his previous work, he uses interviews with musicians to address various key artists and concepts. It's hardly surprising that drummers Art Blakey, Max Roach, Kenny Clarke, and Roy Haynes are included, but the unexpected coverage of artists like Tiny Kahn, Stan Levey, Shadow Wilson, and Don Lamond provide diversity and a greater understanding of how bop drumming evolved. While there is some overlap between the two books, Korall's latest offering is no carbon copy. It is a readable tome that would appeal to jazz enthusiasts and jazz scholars alike. Recommended for academic and public libraries with a jazz interest. Ronald S. Russ, Arkansas State Univ., Beebe Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. From Book News, Inc. Biographies of the swing drummers, including such greats as Chick Webb, Gene Krupa, Jo Jones, Sid Catlett, and Buddy Rich. Korall's text, interviews with the drummers, quotes from their contemporaries, and b&w photos tell the stories of these legendary musicians. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. Burt Korall is widely recognized as the most authoritative writer on jazz drumming. His first book Drummin' Men--The Heartbeat of Jazz: The Swing Era is considered a classic. It was praised by Nat Hentoff as "a book that illuminates not only the pantheon of jazz drummers in classic jazz, but makes clear the very essence of the jazz spirit." Now, in this exciting sequel, Korall offers a richly informative history of drumming in the Bebop era. Bebop--hard driving, discordant, melodically unconventional--introduced new sounds and innovative rhythms that changed the face of jazz. Korall looks at this music through the eyes of the musicians themselves, covering a whole range of important jazz drummers, but focusing upon the most original and significant--principally Kenny Clarke, Max Roach, and Art Blakey. Korall provides a knowledgeable background about the history of bebop--and the unfortunate and almost universal heroin addiction that swept through the jazz world in the wake of Charlie Parker's habit. The book contains Korall's own memoir of nearly 50 years in the jazz world, linked by his narrative of the careers of these drummers and their place in the bebop jazz scene. But the most remarkable aspect of the book is the oral history that weaves together the stories of the drummers themselves as well as their friends and contemporaries. This is one of the most readable jazz histories in recent years, as well as one of the most authoritative and significant. It takes readers inside the heads of the men who drove the beat, to convey the excitement and originality of the bebop era. Ingram Drummin' Men profiles the very best of this generation, illuminating the high-energy drive of Gene Krupa, the explosive power of Chick Webb, and the elegant style of Jo Jones. Photographs.
