Sommario/riassunto

This book covers all Bernardine Evaristo's major works: Lara (1997) and Lara (2009), The Emperor's Babe, Soul Tourists, Blonde Roots and Hello Mum.

Sommario/riassunto

Recorded by his quartet in a single session in 1964, A Love Supreme is widely considered John Coltrane's magnum opus and one of the greatest jazz albums of all time. In Beyond A Love Supreme, Tony Whyton explores both the musical complexities of A Love Supreme and the album's seminal importance in jazz history.
