Apex Blues - Cecile J. Picou

Descriere Apex Blues - Cecile J. Picou

Apex Blues chronicles the extraordinary lives and musical legacies of two generation-spanning Jazz clarinet virtuosos: Jimmie Noone Sr. and his son Jimmy Noone Jr. \n\n Jimmie Noone Sr. rose to fame in the 1910s New Orleans French Quarter jazz scene, forging his iconic 'Sweet Lorraine' style during the dawn of the genre. Later, his son Jimmy initially made waves as a San Diego local musician before feeling called to follow in his father's footsteps. He set out to revive his dad's New Orleans Jazz sound and mentorship. \n\n As the author witnesses firsthand, Jimmy exceeds even his father's musical heights through raw talent and relentless dedication to his craft. In his final days, he completes his quest: to honor Jazz history by propelling his father's sound into the future. Jimmy cements the Noone legacy, ensuring the nation remembers what sublime Jazz can be. \n\n Spanning generations, geographies, and evolutions of musical style, Apex Blues captures how two clarinet greats shepherded Jazz from regional obscurity into an acclaimed American art form. \n\n
