JAZZ

Literatura jazzística en otros idiomas.

jazz libros estanteriaLa mayoría de las publicaciones de jazz (tesis, estudios, novelas, biografias, discohgrafía, etc), están escritas en inglés, y son pocas las publicaciones que se traducen a otros idiomas.

Y aunque es cierto que la música, a diferencia de otras artes, necesita ser oída, además de sentida, los libros son capaces de recrear y de expresar con la palabra, un fenómeno musical como es la música de jazz. Biografías espeluznantes como la realizada por Ross Russell en su «Bird Lives» relata con objetividad y rigurosidad la vida y obra musical de Charlie Parker; crónicas ejemplares como «Un siglo de Jazz» de Roy Carr, o Guías discográficas para iniciarse en los entresijos de esta maravillosa música como es «Los 100 mejores discos de jazz» de Jorge García, Federico G. Herraiz, Federico González y Carlos Sampayo, son algunos ejemplos de una buena literatura jazzistica.

En esta sección dedicada a los libros de jazz, podrás encontrar de todo: Diccionarios, enciclopedias, guías de grabaciones históricas, biografías, e incluso alguna tesis universitaria dedicada al jazz. En cualquier caso, lo importante es que si os gusta el jazz y la lectura, las disfrutéis plenamente y en este sitio, encontrareis ese libro que además, habla de vuestra música preferida.

Os dejamos aquí algunas de las más importantes obras literarias relacionadas con el jazz escritas en su versión original; algunas, las menos, han sido traducidas al castellano, pero la gran mayoría siguen siendo exclusivamente editadas en ingles.
