Specificatii
Queen of Bebop brilliantly chronicles the life of jazz singer Sarah
Vaughan, one of the most influential and innovative musicians of
the twentieth century and a pioneer of women's and civil
rightsSarah Vaughan, a pivotal figure in the formation of bebop,
influenced a broad array of singers who followed in her wake, yet
the breadth and depth of her impact--not just as an artist, but
also as an African-American woman--remain overlooked. Drawing from
a wealth of sources as well as on exclusive interviews with
Vaughan's friends and former colleagues, Queen of Bebop unravels
the many myths and misunderstandings that have surrounded Vaughan
while offering insights into this notoriously private woman, her
creative process, and, ultimately, her genius. Hayes deftly traces
the influence that Vaughan's singing had on the perception and
appreciation of vocalists--not to mention women--in jazz. She
reveals how, in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Vaughan helped
desegregate American airwaves, opening doors for future
African-American artists seeking mainstream success, while also
setting the stage for the civil rights activism of the 1960s and
1970s. She follows Vaughan from her hometown of Newark, New Jersey,
and her first performances at the Apollo, to the Waldorf Astoria
and on to the world stage, breathing life into a thrilling time in
American music nearly lost to us today.Equal parts biography,
criticism, and good old-fashioned American success story, Queen of
Bebop is the definitive biography of a hugely influential artist.
This absorbing and sensitive treatment of a singular personality
updates and corrects the historical record on Vaughan and elevates
her status as a jazz great.
