Description

The Jazz LifeThe last few years have witnessed an enormous resurgence in the popularity of jazz, after some lean times in the sixties when many potential jazz fans turned to rock. Now the pendulum is on the backswing, and vintage and modern jazz as well as "jazz rock" are attracting huge new audiences. One factor involved in the comeback of jazz among blacks and whites alike is the rise of black consciousness, with its search for roots in the American experience.

The last few years have witnessed an enormous resurgence in the popularity of jazz, after some lean times in the sixties when many potential jazz fans turned to rock. Now the pendulum is on the backswing, and vintage and modern jazz as well as "jazz rock" are attracting huge new audiences. One factor involved in the comeback of jazz among blacks and whites alike is the rise of black consciousness, with its search for roots in the American experience. Nat Hentoff's The Jazz Life explores the social, economic, and psychological elements that make up the context of modern jazz. Among the jazz greats whose lives and work are discussed are Count Basie, Charles Mingus, John Lewis, Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, and Ornette Coleman. Written with intelligence, passion, and wit, this jazz classic is of immense importance to anyone wanting a better understanding of the jazz--or indeed our American life.

enjoyable!
Format: Kindle
YA novel with a Romeo & Juliet twist. I have read Rebecca Serle adult novels and really enjoyed them ..saw this on my Kindle feed and thought “why not?” Never too old to read YA fiction! The author’s characters are always ring true …and story moves along quickly and brings chuckles, sadness, and enjoyable conclusions.

Once I started reading I had to finish with no interruptions!!! Amazing!!!
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! It's your typical high school story of growing up, falling in love, and losing your first love. I loved the dynamic of the Rosaline, Charlie, and Olivia's friendship and how the girls stuck together. Also I literally felt the heartache Rosaline felt when losing Rob to Juliet but also when she lost the both of them. I really wished what happened to the both of them didn't end that way but it's life. A lot of people lose someone important to them in high school. Len was really my favorite character and how he brought the best of Rosaline out was so heartwarming. Len is the guy you always root for! Even though the ending was heart wrenching and bittersweet I would recommend this book to anyone. I cried, I laughed, and I felt every emotion Rosaline felt! Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. Perfect from the beginning to the end! Especially the way Rosaline went to the cliff and found Len there!!!
