Alexander Hawkins Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 I definitely second the recommendation for the Szwed book. Seems to be very well researched, and I think it's nicely written, too. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 (edited) Been ages since I've read Szwed's Sun Ra book, but I too remember it being very good. (And I'm not just saying that cuz I'm mentioned on page "xii" of the acknowledgments section (hardcover edition), fourth full paragraph, 3rd name. B-) Hey, cut me some slack -- it's my very own 15-nanoseconds of fame. ) Szwed's book on Miles Davis is one of the best-written jazz bios I've ever read (something of his I've read more recently), and I've been meaning to go back and reread his Sun Ra book. RE: Szwed's Ra book being well researched -- I do know he worked on it for something like 10 years. Edited January 24, 2005 by Rooster_Ties Quote
sidewinder Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 Another for both of the Szwed books. Quote
