Ted Gioia is a pianist, critic, scholar, historian and educator. He
is author of 11 books, including The History of Jazz and Delta
BluesDLboth honored by the New York Times on their list of 100
notable books of the year. His three books on the social history of
musicDLWork Songs, Healing Songs, and Love SongsDLhave each been
honored with the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award. Gioia holds degrees from
Stanford and Oxford,
and previously served on the faculty of Stanford's Department of
Music. Praised as one of the leading music historians of our day,
Gioia is a preeminent guide to songs of the past, present, and
future.
"If you look up just one title in The Jazz Standards, before you
realize it you will have spent an intriguing hour or two learning
fascinating and new things about old songs that you have known most
of your life." -- Dave Brubeck
"Which is best: interpretation or song? In any case, jazz and
standards are forever locked in loving embrace. A finely researched
work." -- Sonny Rollins
"Mr. Gioia's is the first general-interest, wide-ranging and
authoritative guide to the basic contemporary jazz canon." -- Will
Friedwald, Wall Street Journal
"In virtually every instance, Gioia delivers." -- The Atlantic
Monthly
"One man's repertoire may be another man's B-list, but when the man
is Ted Gioia, one tends to listen - in both senses. Gioia, among
the most lauded of jazz writers, has chosen more than 250 songs. He
tells the story behind each....Compulsively readable, and belongs
on the shelves of every jazz lover, or jazz-lover wannabe." --
Toronto Globe and Mail
"This book should be in the library of every gigging jazz musician
and every serious jazz fan." -- Library Journal
"What a useful and informative book The Jazz Standards is!
Explaining the jazz repertory in a way that is accessible for the
jazz beginner yet stimulating for the aficionado, Ted Gioia shows
once again why he is one the best jazz writers around today." --
Gerald Early, Editor of Miles Davis and American Culture
"Warning: This book is addictive....Putting together a compendium
like this must involve prodigious research and an encyclopaedic
memory. Fortunately Gioia...wears his learning lightly and conveys
it with wit and insight, and a minimum of musicological jargon." --
Dallas Morning News
"The book is wise, often funnyDLand it always accomplishes the
highest mission of writing about music, which is to send you back
to the music with wide-open ears." -- Kansas City Star
