Product Description
Dave Brubeck
"One seldom has the opportunity to hear these jazz stars in such informal circumstances..."
Synopsis
This biography recounts the work of Randi Hultin. At Randi's home, the stars chatted and unwound, doodled and composed - all captured by Randi on camera, in sketches and in the recordings which are available on the book's accompanying CD. Since 1953, Randi Hultin's Norway home has been visited by jazz giants including Count Basie, Dave Brubeck, Zoot Sims, Coleman Hawkins, Hampton Hawes, Eubie Blake, Louis Armstrong, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Bud Powell, Dexter Gordon, Bill Evans, Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz and Chet Baker, to name a few.

Like Reading A Jazz Lovers' Personal Diary
1 Dec 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was a pleasure to read. It's written in a very informal style, by a woman who was a lifelong fan of jazz music. It's amazing how many of the great names crossed her path and visited her home. After finishing the book I Googled the author and was saddened to learn she died a few years ago. She was obviously an amazing person, who was able to connect with these musicians on a human level and maintain lasting friendships with many of them. The audio CD included with the book is an interesting aural peak into the late night jam sessions often described in the book. There weren't many tracks featuring the more well know jazz artists. I'm assuming that probably due to copyright issues and such, but it's a fun listen anyway and nice compliment to the book.
Like becoming a Jazz writer's best friend.

I loved every second of this book. Stories of real adventure and kind people along with the shake up of jazz. It couldn't have been written any better and is a a read that will inspire you.

I have not ordered this product yet but I am anxious to purchase it. All the product sellers MUST inform the buyers about whether or not their product INCLUDES THE CD with the book. The CD has some very rare interviews and performances- including the only known recording of Kenny Dorham playing and singing "Fair Weather". That's the main reason I am purchasing this product and I don't want to purchase the book without the CD. Marianne
