专辑简介
This is one of four budget priced 9-CD sets that comprise "That Devilin' Tune: A Jazz History 1895-1950" in its entirety. In addition to the CDs, each volume includes a substantial booklet with text and photographs. Taken together, all four booklets contain the out-of-print book "That Devilin' Tune" in its entirety.
"In this follow-up to American Pop, Allen Lowe forces us to rethink everything we `know' about jazz--its origins, its relationship to other forms of music, its social consequences, and the supposedly minor role played by white musicians in its evolution. Passages on figures as famous as Louis Armstrong and as obscure as Tony Aless do what musical criticism ideally should: they send us back to the pertinent recordings to compare notes" --Francis Davis, author of Bebop and Nothingness
When Allen Lowe's previous music documentary, Minstrel to Mojo [American Pop] was released, it was acclaimed as one of the ten best boxed sets of the year by The New York Times and as the best independent production of the year in Pulse! magazine. Gary Giddins wrote in the U.S. magazine Modern Maturity (circulation: 23 million): "This astonishing trove of 215 selections lives up to its title. . . . the sheer variety is overwhelming." Here are some other rave reviews:
"There can be few better guides to the varied, fascinating, and vastly influential music of the United States than this." --John Clarke, The Times of London
"There has never been such a fascinating collection of reissued vintage records . . . nor one that gives such an overview of American popular song . . ." --Philip Elwood, San Francisco Examiner
"No one has ever attempted anything like this before . . . these are the streams and tributaries that have fed the river of American music in this century, and it is an amazing experience to sit back and listen to them as they flow together." --Elijah Wood, The Boston Globe
