LIFE BEHIND THE STAGE (THE REAL STORY OF 3 FAMOUS JAZZ ARTISTS STORIES)

What is the perfect mean to you ? Even for myself, perfect may be a word that discribe someone who gets things they need success in their lifes, get a good job, or earn a lot of money, but is it always ture? I am interested in jazz music; in addition, I acknowledge that many jazz musicians had a lot of suffering in their lifes. Eventhough they had a lot of money, they could not solve in their problems. I would like to do the reseach by comparing three famous jazz artists stories, Billy Holiday, Bill Evans, Bud Powell. The researches are including their background, remarkable talent, achievement, and problem.

This is the big one -- 20 thick volumes packed full of information on musical history, composers, artists and more. It carries a big price tag, but it's an invaluable aid for the serious student or writer. Grove has several other dictionaries, opera and jazz among them, but if you can only handle one, this is the one to get. This text refers to the 20 Volume edition of this title -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels. The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, second edition (New Grove II), is a monumental work of 29 volumes. It is the largest single-subject encyclopedia in the world and the definitive music reference source.
Sir George Grove (1820-1900), who could be called a Renaissance man, was a civil engineer who also built bridges, railways stations, and lighthouses in Bermuda and Jamaica. He began writing and editing the first Grove in the 1870s. That four-volume set was published in four different years, 1878, 1880, 1883, and 1890. Subsequent editions were edited by others, but the Grove name has remained. The second edition, in five volumes, was published from 1904 to 1910. The third edition, also in five volumes, appeared in 1927. The next year saw a one-volume American supplement containing some new material. A five-volume fourth edition was published in 1940. The nine volumes of the fifth edition appeared in 1954, followed by a supplementary volume in 1961. Stanley Sadie edited New Grove, published in 1980, and he is the editor of New Grove II. In the world of Grove these two new editions are called Grove 6 and Grove 7. New Grove II (or Grove 7), complete with an online version, continues a long and impressive history.
