Chet

Autore: Roberto Cotroneo

Numero di pagine: 139

Fu una vita senza regole, quella di Chet Baker: il genio bellissimo e maledetto del jazz, l’uomo capace tanto di distruggere il proprio corpo con la schiavitú dall’eroina, quanto di far salire fino al cielo le note della sua tromba. E fu una vita tragica quella di Chet, conclusa il 13 maggio del 1988 con un volo da una finestra dell’Hotel Prins Hendrik di Amsterdam. Quasi vent’anni dopo, una mattina del 2006, il protagonista di questo romanzo riceve una telefonata che riapre il mistero su uno dei miti piú controversi del Novecento: Chet non è morto, ma vive, come un eremita, nel cuore del Salento. E qualcuno giura di aver sentito la sua tromba suonare ancora. Sulle note di My Funny Valentine, il brano che piú di tutti ossessionò Baker, comincia un viaggio che spinge il protagonista a cercare di scoprire se quell’uomo, con il viso segnato da un reticolo di rughe profonde ma la forza e lo spirito di un ragazzo, è davvero Chet. Ad affiancarlo in questa ricerca, le donne che in gioventú conobbero il lato piú imprevedibile e ribelle di quel “James Dean del jazz” e che oggi vegliano sul suo segreto. E sarà proprio grazie a Nathalie, americana trapiantata a Parigi, ...

“Good Night, Chet”

Autore: Lyle Johnston

Numero di pagine: 264

“If a judgment were ever rendered on all the multi-million words I have spoken into microphones, I hope something like this could be said: ‘He [Huntley] had a great respect, almost an awe, of the medium in which he worked. He regarded it as a privilege, not a license.... Perhaps the best I might hope is that by some accident of voice tone or arrangement of words I did, on a few occasions, excite, exhort, annoy or provoke a few of my fellow human beings to think with their heads, not the viscera’”—Chet Huntley. This biography of NBC newsman Chet Huntley, who, along with David Brinkley, anchored NBC’s “Huntley-Brinkley Report,” covers his youth on a farm in Montana, his education and his graduation from the University of Washington, his development as a radio personality and news reporter for stations in Seattle, Spokane, Portland, and his work for CBS, ABC and NBC radio and television in Los Angeles from 1939 to 1955. It also details his move to New York and his work on the “Huntley-Brinkley Report” from 1956 to 1970, his retirement from the news business, his supervision of the development of the Big Sky Ski resort in Montana, and his death from cancer in 1974...

Chet Atkins

Autore: Chet Atkins , Michael Cochran , Russ Cochran

Numero di pagine: 192

Chet Atkins: Me and My Guitars is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive and enlightening book on Chet Atkins ever published. A friend of Atkins' for 40 years, Russ Cochran was privy to stories from Chet that even the most knowledgeable Chet fan would never know about. Chet tells it all in his own words about his childhood, his playing influences and early struggles to find work, along with insight into the guitars he used and endorsed along the way. The book includes full-color photos of Chet and his guitars, many only previously seen in a limited collector's edition. Photographer Wolf Hoffman manages to expertly capture the images of some very famous guitars played by Chet, including his first Sears Roebuck Silvertone, custom made D'Angelicos, the Gretsches, and the prototype models of the current Gibson Country Gentleman guitars. Over 60 guitars in Chet's private collection are photographed in Chet's home and his office on Music Row. Chet speaks about each of his important guitars - including the Gibson L-10 which his brother Jim gave him - telling the story of his career as seen through his guitars. More than just a pictorial review of his guitars throughout the years, it's...

Chet

Autore: Alain Gerber

Numero di pagine: 352

Qui m’a parlé le premier de Chet Baker ? J’ai déjà oublié ses traits, mais ses paroles restent gravées dans ma tête : «Il n’est pas meilleur que Miles à ses débuts, tu verras. Et il est pire que Dizzy dans ses plus mauvais jours. Seulement voilà, il ne ressemble à aucun des deux.» J’ai répondu : «Amène-le moi cet après-midi. Il est pour moi.» Charles «Charlie» Parker Jr, dit «Bird» C’était moi qui m’obstinais à traîner Chet chaque dimanche dans ces affreux concours d’amateurs. Et c’était moi qu’on poignardait chaque fois qu’on lui attribuait le deuxième prix. Ils sentaient bien qu’il était le meilleur. Ils le savaient, même les plus bouchés, les plus épais d’entre eux, les plus grosses brutes de la bande, ils se rendaient compte que mon garçon était, je ne dis pas d’une autre classe, mais d’une autre espèce que leurs petits singes savants. Vera Baker Dans la musique je suis accro à une substance. Elle n’a ni poids, ni volume, ni forme et elle est pourtant plus dense que tout ce que je connais de matériel sur la terre. Chet Baker En guise de préambule, je voudrais dire que la question de la toxicomanie me paraît...

Chet Baker (déploration)

Autore: Zéno Bianu

Numero di pagine: 119

Du début des années 1950 (en prince de la trompette cool aux côtés de Charlie Parker) jusqu’à son suicide en 1988, Chet Baker est devenu un mythe américain. Par sa poésie, Zéno Bianu s’attache à restituer la note bleue d’une aventure qui n’a cessé de tutoyer les extrêmes. Il livre un texte-confidence, intense et mélancolique, qui rend hommage au « James Dean du jazz ». Zéno Bianu fut l’un des signataires du Manifeste électrique, qui bouleversa la poésie francophone des années 1970. Il est l’auteur d’une œuvre multiforme, publiée chez Gallimard, Actes Sud, Fata Morgana et par Le Castor Astral. Il est entré en « Poésie/Gallimard » pour célébrer les 50 ans de la collection. « Dans une époque vouée à la déréliction et à un renoncement hypnotique, la poésie de Zéno BIanu s’impose comme une ardente rupture, une submersion féérique. » - France culture « Zeno Bianu, de la poésie au théâtre, met en scène l'humain entre éclats et transcendance, souffrance et apaisement. » - Le Matricule des anges « Avec cet opus inspiré, Zéno Bianu est du côté des musiciens. Et on est heureux d’être témoins de cet échange. » - Texture

Chet Atkins

Autore: Don Cusic

Numero di pagine: 494

Chet Atkins was arguably the most influential American guitarist of the twentieth century and, through his work as a recording executive, is often credited as a founder of the Nashville Sound. In Chet Atkins: Mr. Guitar, noted music historian Don Cusic illuminates the legend, detailing Atkins's work as a guitarist, producer, music executive, and guitar designer, while also exploring his roles as mentor, friend, and husband. Born in 1924 in Luttrell, Tennessee, Chester (Chet) Burton Atkins taught himself to play several instruments. A lifelong musician, he started his career playing alongside many other legendary entertainers, such as Red Foley, the Carter Family, Hank Snow, and Eddy Arnold. In the 1950s, as an RCA Victor manager, producer, and musician, Atkins was one of the early architects of the Nashville Sound, which led to the first crossover country-pop hits. He was also there at the beginning of rock and roll and played on the early recordings of Elvis Presley and the Everly Brothers. When the Beatles came to the United States in February 1964, the lead guitarist, George Harrison, was seen on TV playing a Gretsch guitar designed by Chet Atkins. By the end of his life in...
