"The Jazz Masters: Setting the Record Straight features twenty-one conversations with
musicians who have had at least fifty years of professional experience, and several
as many as seventy-five. In all, these voices reflect some seventeen hundred years'
worth of paying dues. Appealing to casual fans and jazz aficionados alike, these interviews
have been carefully, but minimally edited by Peter Zimmerman for sense and clarity,
without changing any of the musicians' actual words. Five of the interviewees-Dick
Hyman, Jimmy Owens, Sonny Rollins, Clark Terry, and Yusef Lateef-have received the
National Endowment for the Arts' prestigious Jazz Masters Fellowship, attesting to
their importance and ability. While not official masters, the rest are veteran performers
willing to share their experiences and knowledge. Artists such as David Amram, Charles
Davis, Clifford Jordan, Valery Ponomarev, and Sandy Stewart, to name a few, open their
hearts and memories and reveal who they are as people. The musicians interviewed for
the book range in age from their early seventies to mid-nineties. Older musicians
started their careers during the segregation of the Jim Crow era, while the youngest
came up during the struggle for civil rights. All grapple with issues of race, performance,
and jazz's rich legacies. In addition to performing, touring, and recording, many
have composed and arranged, and others have contributed as teachers, historians, studio
musicians, session players, producers, musicians' advocates, authors, columnists,
poets, and artists. The interviews in The Jazz Masters are invaluable primary material
for scholars and will appeal to musicians inspired by these veterans' stories and
their different approaches to music"
