Jazz Night
Like the rest of the arts, music is intangible, elusive, a feeling that lives inside us. Some artists have the capacity to give life to that feeling; others, spend their lives trying. The stories inside this book are born from that magic and sacrifice, where each chapter has the title of a standard (“Body and Soul”, “It’s Monk’s Time”, “Solitude”, “Drum Boogie”…) or an album (Chet Baker Sings, Kind of Blue) to become a soundtrack that illustrates the stories.
