Todo lo que siempre has querido saber sobre Murakami y el jazz, contado por el propio autor.
Una joya. Jorge Coscar�n, Esquire
Tan hermoso como ameno. Eduardo Bravo, GQ Un libro perfecto para leer con los o�dos mientras rinde un excepcional tributo a unos artistas imprescindibles. Mart�n Page, El Cultural Demuestra la capacidad de Murakami para convertir las notas musicales en una prosa inigualable que nos envuelve en su melod�a. Iv�n Orio, El Correo Murakami logra atrapar en estos textos de forma prodigiosa el v�nculo �ntimo, emocional y subjetivo que establecemos con las creaciones art�sticas. Mauricio Bach, Letra Global Si les gusta el jazz, no deben perderse este libro de Murakami. Luis M. Alonso, La Nueva Espa�aHaruki Murakami regent� durante a�os un club de jazz, llamado Peter Cat, antes de dedicarse a tiempo completo a la escritura. Sin duda, al abrir este volumen el lector tendr� la sensaci�n de haberse sentado a una de las mesas del local mientras el propio Murakami le cuenta an�cdotas y pormenores de las canciones que se escuchan, en un tono confidencial, c�lido y entusiasta. La pasi�n del escritor japon�s por el jazz le llev� a escribir este libro compuesto por cincuenta y cinco retratos de m�sicos de jazz, acompa�ados de una ilustraci�n del artista japon�s Wada Makoto y de un comentario sobre un �lbum de cada m�sico. Gracias a Murakami, cada entrada se convierte en una peque�a y deliciosa historia, en un fragmento de memoria autobiogr�fica, en consejos a la hora de escuchar a un int�rprete, o en frescas pinceladas para describir a un artista o una �poca. As�, desde el m�tico Chet Baker hasta Ella Fitzgerald, por el libro desfilan grandes figuras como Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Bill Evans o Art Pepper.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Murakami and Jazz--Told by the Author Himself.
"A gem." -- Jorge Coscar�n, Esquire
"As beautiful as it is engaging." -- Eduardo Bravo, GQ "A perfect book to listen to as you read, paying exceptional tribute to essential artists." -- Mart�n Page, El Cultural "Murakami masterfully transforms musical notes into prose, wrapping us in his melody." -- Iv�n Orio, El Correo "He brilliantly captures the intimate, emotional, and personal connection we form with artistic creations." -- Mauricio Bach, Letra Global "If you love jazz, you can't miss this book by Murakami." -- Luis M. Alonso, La Nueva Espa�aBefore dedicating himself entirely to writing, Haruki Murakami ran a jazz club called Peter Cat for years. Open this book, and you'll feel like you've taken a seat at the bar, listening to Murakami himself as he shares anecdotes and stories about the songs playing--his tone warm, personal, and full of enthusiasm.
Murakami's deep love for jazz led him to craft this book, which features fifty-five portraits of legendary jazz musicians. Each profile is paired with an illustration by Japanese artist Wada Makoto and Murakami's thoughts on an essential album from each musician's repertoire. Thanks to Murakami's storytelling, every entry transforms into a delightful little tale--a glimpse into his own memories, advice on how to listen to a performer, or vivid brushstrokes that bring an artist or an era to life.
From the iconic Chet Baker to Ella Fitzgerald, this book is filled with legends: Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Bill Evans, Art Pepper, and many more.
Murakami, Haruki: - Haruki Murakami (Kioto, 1949) es uno de los pocos autores japoneses que han dado el salto de escritor de prestigio a autor con grandes ventas en todo el mundo. Ha recibido numerosos premios, entre ellos el Noma, el Tanizaki, el Yomiuri, el Franz Kafka o el Jerusalem Prize, y su nombre suena reiteradamente como candidato al Nobel de Literatura. En España, ha merecido la Orden de las Artes y las Letras, concedida por el Gobierno español, y el Premio Internacional Cataluña 2011. Tusquets Editores ha publicado doce de sus novelas --entre ellas la aclamada Tokio blues. Norwegian Wood y Los años de peregrinación del chico sin color--, las personalísimas obras De qué hablo cuando hablo de correr y Underground, así como cuatro volúmenes de relatos: Sauce ciego, mujer dormida, Después del terremoto, Hombres sin mujeres y El elefante desaparece.
Haruki Murakami was born in Kyoto in 1949 and now lives near Tokyo. His work has been translated into more than fifty languages, and one of the most recent of his many international honors is the Cino Del Duca World Prize, whose previous recipients include Jorge Luis Borges, Ismail Kadare, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Joyce Carol Oates.
