Par WILDE LAURENT DE. Parmi les génies que compte la musique négro-américaine, Thelonious Sphere Monk est certainement le plus étrange, le plus singulier. Il se dresse dans le paysage du jazz comme un mégalithe énigmatique. L'homme et la musique sont ici clos sur eux-mêmes. Il faut, pour pénétrer cet univers si particulier, avoir la sensibilité de l'artiste et la rigueur de l'analyste. C'est ce qu'a réussi Laurent de Wilde.Seul un musicien doublé d'un écrivain pouvait, de la façon la plus vivante, nous décrire un univers de psychopathe protégé, tout autant qu'analyser tel thème, tel solo, telle conclusion paradoxale. En connaisseur du terrain, il nous fait visiter les lieux, dévoile des passages secrets et nous remet la clef, une fois qu'on est entré. / Poche / Livre / Livres

Par SPRINGSTEEN BRUCE. En 2009, Bruce Springsteen et le E Street Band jouent à  la mi-temps du Super Bowl. L'expérience est tellement grisante que Bruce décide d'écrire à  ce sujet. C'est ainsi qu'a commencé cette extraordinaire autobiographie. Au cours des sept années écoulées, Bruce Springsteen s'est, en secret, consacré à  l'écriture de l'histoire de sa vie, apportant à  ces pages l'honnêteté, l'humour et l'originalité qu'on retrouve dans ses chansons. Il décrit son enfance, dans l'atmosphêre catholique de Freehold, New Jersey, la poésie, le danger et les forces sombres qui alimentaient son imagination, jusqu'au moment qu'il appelle Le Big Bang: la premiêre fois qu'Elvis Presley passe à  la télévision, au Ed Sullivan Show. Il raconte d'une maniêre saisissante l'énergie implacable qu'il a déployée pour devenir musicien, ses débuts dans des groupes de bar à  Asbury Park et la naissance du E Street Band. Avec une sincérité désarmante, il raconte aussi pour la premiêre fois les luttes personnelles qui ont inspiré le meilleur de son oeuvre et nous montre que la chanson Born to Run révêle bien plus que ce qu'on croyait. Born to Run sera une révélation pour quiconque apprécie Bruce Springsteen, mais c'est bien plus que le témoignage d'une rock star légendaire. C'est un livre pour les travailleurs et les rêveurs, les parents et les enfants, les amoureux et les solitaires, les artistes, les dingues et quiconque ayant un jour voulu être baptisé dans les eaux bénies du rock'n'roll. Rarement un artiste avait raconté son histoire avec une telle force et un tel souffle. Comme nombre de ses chansons (Thunder Road, 'Badlands, 'Darkness on the Edge of Town, The River, Born in the USA, The Rising, The Ghost of Tom Joad, pour n'en citer que quelques-unes), l'autobiographie de Bruce Springsteen est écrite avec le lyrisme d'un auteur/compositeur singulier et la sagesse d'un homme qui a profondément réfléchi à  ses expériences. / Broché / Livre / Livres

Par TODD / ROBINSON. Nina Simone était une icône : elle était à la fois une des plus grandes chanteuses de jazz de son époque, et une ambassadrice de la lutte contre le racisme. Mais avant d?être Nina Simone, elle était Eunice Kathleen Waymon, une prodige qui a chanté avant de pouvoir marcher et a appris à jouer du piano sur les genoux de son père. Quand plusieurs portes lui ont été fermées à cause de la couleur de sa peau, la jeune fille a rapidement découvert que son talent n'était peut-être pas suffisant. Mais elle n?a pas renoncé pour autant, a chanté dans des bars, a élevé la voix, et Eunice est devenue Nina Simone. Si à ses débuts sa voix était douce, à mesure que la lutte contre les discriminations raciales a pris de l'ampleur, sa voix s?est faite plus grave, pour devenir rugissement.
Le parcours d?une femme forte, de son enfance jusqu?à son dernier concert, un album puissant et incarné, pour faire découvrir aux enfants la lutte contre le racisme à travers la vie d?une des plus grandes voix du jazz. / Broché / Livre / Livres

Updated Edition-If you ever needed proof that a magazine can have a love affair with a musician you're holding it in your hands. For DownBeat the preeminent publication of the jazz world Miles Dewey Davis was one of its most cherished subjects. Since it began covering the jazz scene in 1939 no other artist has been more diligently chronicled in its pages than Davis.The beauty of this collection is seeing the development of an artist over time. The reviews of his music go from quietly introducing a new talent to revering perhaps the greatest jazz artist of his generation. The feature articles begin with a very young very polite Davis lamenting I've worked so little. Icould probably tell you where I was playing any night in the last three years. As he develops the interviews show Davis gaining confidence and stature showing swagger and becoming the over-the-top say-it-like-it-is showman that made every interview an event.The Miles Davis Reader compiles more than 200 news stories feature articles and reviews by some of the greatest writers in jazz into one volume. It delivers a patchwork of his words and music - in the moment as they happened. With several lengthy features added along with a dozen new photographs this new edition is a beautiful series of snapshots a year-by-year ride through the many phases of Davis as an artist and as a man.

Auteur-compositeur-interprète de folk anglais, Nicholas Rodney Drake (1948-1974) Bien qu?étant salué par la critique, n?a jamais obtenu l?attention du public de son vivant. Cependant Nick Drake est l?objet d?une reconnaissance posthume, ses trois albums, loin d?être tombés dans l?oubli, suscitent un intérêt croissant auprès des nouvelles générations.
Nick Drake a traversé le monde musical à la vitesse d?une météorite. Artiste lunaire, magicien de la six cordes acoustique, ce féru de poésie se lance très tôt dans l?écriture de chansons. Puis il décide de tout sacrifier à cette passion, abandonne ses études, fait quelques concerts, finit par être signé dans une maison de disques et publie son premier opus : « Five leaves left » (1968). Reconnu par la presse mais boudé par le public, Nick Drake sort deux ans plus tard « Bryter layter ». L?album une nouvelle fois excellent ne parvient pas à séduire le public pas plus que son dernier disque, le crépusculaire « Pink moon » paru en 1972.
Le jeune homme, découragé et en proie à de graves problèmes personnels songe à tout arrêter et retourne vivre chez ses parents. Il y est retrouvé mort à l?automne 74.
Nick Drake est l?objet d?une reconnaissance posthume, ses trois albums, loin d?être tombés dans l?oubli, suscitent un intérêt croissant auprès des nouvelles générations.
