The book presents intimate portraits of jazz's most towering figures, tracing the art form's evolution through the lives and music of legends including Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, and Miles Davis, as seen through the eyes of a man who knew them personally.\n\nFeather, one of the twentieth century's most respected jazz critics and insiders, writes with the rare authority of both a scholar and a confidant, giving each profile a richness that goes far beyond mere biography. His prose illuminates the creative genius, personal struggles, and cultural seismic shifts that each musician embodied, arguing persuasively that jazz is inseparable from the social and political history of America. For anyone eager to understand how a music born in the margins came to define a century, this essential volume leaves one question burning: what becomes of an art form when its giants are gone?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130934960347,"sku":"2026200012347-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d4b34c4f-aa1f-401c-a6eb-ebeca7a55257.png?v=1786592751","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012347-secondhand-from-satchmo-to-miles","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
