Yet Beautiful: the Book of Jazz
by H
About This Novel
Lester Young, Billie Holiday, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, Chet Baker... Legendary musicians like suffering saints. A movie montage of life scenes. Whether you're a jazz fan or not, whether you've heard those songs or not, this book will make you want to listen to them-or listen to them again. And after you hear it, you'll want to look at those sentences again. Your heart will become soft and sensitive, like a poor little animal. Sometimes you will smile, sometimes you will want to cry inexplicably, sometimes you will suddenly remember something or someone from a long time ago, and sometimes you will stand up and go to the balcony to smoke a cigarette. And when you finish reading it, you know you will read it again, you will confidently (even proudly) recommend it to your friends, and you will keep it on your bookshelf forever, hoping that one day, when you leave this world, your children - your children's children - will read it too. Because, this is a little jazz bible.
