A free-lance jazz critic, David H. Rosenthal was also a poet, literary critic, journalist, and translator of Catalan and Portuguese literature. His articles on music have appeared in Down Beat, JazzTimes, Keyboard, the Village Voice, and other publications.
"The author should be praised for breaking new ground with his
Hill, Jones, Brooks, Hope, Clark, Harris, Kelly, Morgan, Jordan,
Golson, and Turrentine biographies....Should be greatly appreciated
as the beginning of a coming to terms with this vibrant period in
jazz history....We are all indebted to Rosenthal for putting into
motion what should be a continuing debate about jazz of this
period."--American Book Review
"An original and compelling assessment."--Kirkus Reviews
"A solid, insightful study of one of the most misunderstood of jazz
movements."--Harvey Pekar
"A very fine overview of the period from 1955-1965, especially as
it refers to my personal involvement in the music of the
time."--Jackie McLean
"Covers one of the most vital ten years in jazz, an era that is
still echoing through contemporary music of many styles in its
influence. David Rosenthal vividly and coherently explains the
musical developments of this unified, yet diverse time in jazz,
beautifully bringing in vital contemporaneous information on the
socio-cultural circles within and immediately surrounding jazz. His
ability to cover all bases without weighing the reader down in
tangents and
minutia is admirable."--Michael Cuscuna, Mosaic Records
"An original and compelling assessment."--Kirkus Reviews
