"From Fats Waller and Duke Ellington to Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett, pianists have always been among the major innovators in jazz. They are by far its most popular instrumentalists. Now, ... award-winning jazz critic Len Lyons presents a remarkable overview of the jazz piano tradition--from ragtime and stride to modern, fusion, and free jazz--as seen through the lives and musical perspectives of its most important artists. Lively, penetrating, richly anecdotal, Lyons's interviews with twenty-seven of the major jazz pianists of our time envelop the reader in the world and the spirit of jazz: the color and texture of the music, the rent parties, and nightclubs, and recording studios, and, most of all, the genius, the passion, and the dedication of the men and women at the keyboards.
