I loved jazz, and jazz was my way of doing that," Norman Granz told Tad Hershorn during the final interviews given for this book. Granz, who died in 2001, was iconoclastic, independent, immensely influential, often thoroughly unpleasant-and one of jazz's true giants. Granz played an essential part in bringing jazz to audiences around the world, defying racial and social prejudice as he did so, and demanding that African-American performers be treated equally everywhere they toured. In this definitive biography, Hershorn recounts Granz's story: creator of the legendary jam session concerts known as Jazz at the Philharmonic; founder of the Verve record label; pioneer of live recordings and worldwide jazz concert tours; manager and recording producer for numerous stars, including Ella Fitzgerald and Oscar Peterson. 000437999 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000437999 60010 $$aGranz, Norman,$$d1918-2001. 000437999 650_0 $$aImpresarios$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000437999 650_0 $$aJazz musicians$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000437999 650_0 $$aJazz$$xHistory and criticism. 000437999 650_0 $$aMusic$$xSocial aspects$$zUnited States. 000437999 650_0 $$aAfrican American musicians$$vBiography. 000437999 650_0 $$aAfrican American musicians$$zUnited States. 000437999 650_0 $$aCivil rights movements$$zUnited States$$vSongs and music. 000437999 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000437999 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHershorn, Tad.$$tNorman Granz.$$dBerkeley : University of California Press, 2011$$z9780520267824$$w(DLC) 2011011292$$w(OCoLC)707628353 000437999 8520_ $$bacq 000437999 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000437999 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=785214$$zOnline Access 000437999 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:437999$$pGLOBAL_SET 000437999 980__ $$aEBOOK 000437999 980__ $$aBIB 000437999 982__ $$aEbook 000437999 983__ $$aOnline
