Flaptekst van het boek over jazzmuziek van Kevin Le Gendre

Kevin Le Gendre brings his considerable knowledge and experience toThe Philosophy of Jazz, interpreting the mindset, outlook and ambition of the jazz musician and a form of music that has captured the imagination of international audiences for over a century.

This is not a straight history of this genre of music but an exploration of what it means to be a jazz musician and the alchemy between players and audience during a live-music session. While drawing on historical references, in terms of cultural touchstones in Black music and the Black experience, this fascinating book very much immerses itself in the current jazz scene and the interesting directions being explored. Along the way the greats of jazz are all covered – Joplin, Morton, Billie, Miles and Monk along with their influence and legacy.

Kevin Le Gendre is a British journalist, broadcaster and author whose work focuses on Black music. He published two books about the history of black music in Britain: Don’t Stop the Carnival in 2018 and a second volume, Children of the Ghetto in 2024.

Flaptekst van het boek over draken van Carolyne Larrington

Whether they breathe fire from above, spit poison on the land, or cause churning maelstroms in the sea, dragons can be found lurking in the margins of illuminated legend around the world. Their global ubiquity means they have many guises: primordial chaos-monsters to the ancients, wise and auspicious guardians in East Asian tradition, formidable foes to be slain by saints and knights, comic companions in 19th-century children’s literature, and stand-ins for aerial warfare in modern fantasy.

The history of dragons is as slippery and twisting as their serpentine bodies; they are creatures constantly doubling back on themselves, shedding their dead skins for new, and coiling around our landscapes.

Featuring: Dragons of the Ancient World, Bestiary Dragons, Flying and Fiery Dragons, Creeping Dragons, Water Dragons and Sea-Serpents, Saints and Dragons, Dragons from Around the World, and Contemporary Dragons.

Carolyne Larrington was born in 1959. She is a is an emeritus research fellow in English Literature of St John’s College at the University of Oxford and published several books.
