L’échec de l’entrée au Curtis Institute explique-t-il toute la vie de Nina Simone ? la rage ressentie devant l’injustice explique sans doute une partie de ses réactions et de ses décisions, mais ce qui fait la personnalité de Nina Simone dépasse la réaction à un événement. Son talent et son engagement artistique et politique sont les ressorts qui ont présidé à toutes les décisions de sa vie, de sa première prestation publique à sa dernière demeure. Son talent immense, sa force de caractère et sans doute son égocentrisme ont façonné une personnalité hors du commun naviguant sans cesse entre le firmament de l’art vocal et l’enfer d’une vie personnelle chaotique.
The history of music shows us that different kinds and forms follow each other. And that the latest trend overshadows the one that came before it. Today it's difficult to say exactly which trend dominates, as there are so many music currents that overlap and intersect. Mainstream exists no longer. Yet one thing is certain: each music form is built on the music that precedes it. There would be no jazz without classical music, no rock without blues, no rock without jazz, no rap without soul music, no sampling without the riffs of either soul or rock… and therefore, inside each genre you find different chapters in the history of music. And that is why it is so important to understand their origins: they shed the light that is necessary for an understanding of the music born every day.
The richness of jazz lies at the origin of so much music today that it is essential to discover this creative wealth. The Essential Works of Masters of Jazz bring to light those 20th century creations that still exert an influence on the majority of musicians today — whether they are aware of it or not.
The Essential Works of Masters of Jazz gather the fundamental creations of the music of today.
