• catalog abstract ""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 sequel, Korall offers an 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 on 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 fifty 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 and those of their friends and contemporaries."--Jacket.".
