This article discusses three different books and DVDs related to jazz music. The first book, "John McLaughlin: From Miles and Mahavishnu to The 4th Dimension" by Matt Phillips, focuses on the career of guitarist John McLaughlin. While the book provides a comprehensive overview of McLaughlin's albums and collaborations, it lacks in-depth insights into his personal life and experiences. The second book, "Kosher Jammers: Jewish Connections in Jazz Vol. 1: The USA" by Mike Gerber, explores the role of Jews in American jazz, both as musicians and behind the scenes. Gerber interviews various individuals and discusses the influence of klezmer music on jazz. The third item is a Blu-ray and soundtrack titled "A Celebration of Keith Tippett," which captures a musical tribute to the late musician Keith Tippett. The performances on the Blu-ray showcase the diverse career of Tippett and feature improvisation and composed music. [Extracted from the article] |
