In the words of the musicians who made it happen, Swing to Bop chronicles a watershed in jazz history: the music's movement from the Big Band era into the modern period. Ira Gitler interviewed more than fifty figures who, during the 1940s, helped make bop the most powerful force in modern jazz. Along with the music and musicians, the book sharply evokes the atmosphere in which they flourished. "By intercutting the interviews, he has summoned up a round-table discussion that uncovers little-known historical nuggets and terrific anecdotes....Mr. Gitler has done an exhaustive and creditable job."--The New York Times Book Review

The fifties, though a quiescent period in many ways, was one of the most fervent decades in jazz history. The landmarks of modern jazz were firmly planted and, it could be argued, nearly all directions the music has taken since then can be charted back to recordings, groups, or individuals from this era. In this series of profiles, Joe Goldberg examines the lives and the music, the crucial events and dominant forces of a decade of great music and conflicting esthetics: Miles Davis's recording of Kind of Blue; Gerry Mulligan's pianoless quartet; Cecil Taylor's percussive keyboard experiments; John Coltrane's and Sonny Rollins's marathon saxophone solos; MJQ's blending of classical structure and jazz improvisation; Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz. From Mingus to Monk to Blakey, it was an age of giants. Perhaps never before or since in jazz history have so many wildly idiosyncratic jazz innovators been contemporaries. Joe Goldberg was there and what his ears heard has become here a lasting music document.
