What is Handful of Keys : Conversations with Thirty Jazz Pianists about?
<p>Shipton, critic for the Times of London, brings out the jazz within 30 of the world's great pianists, ranging from those who birthed bebop to those who illuminate us now. Players comment on their lives, their technique, their experiences, and their love of it all without cutting off any necessary notes. Shipton's subjects include the names even the uninitiated know, including Bley, Brubeck, Coltrane, Corea, Hancock, Jarrett, Krall and Sir Charles Thompson, and also those appreciated best by those who know and love jazz. Shipley includes the last interview by Mal Waldron, Billie Holiday's accompanist, and articles on some remarkable young newcomers whose baby faces hold very old and experienced eyes. Shipton includes photographs, many of which appear to be from the artists' private collections, and a list of recommended recordings. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR</p>
