(P/B) AND THEY ALL SANG

Παρουσίαση

A collection of interviews, conducted by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Studs Terkel with some of the greatest musicians of all time, including Louis Armstrong, Bob Dylan, Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Guthrie, Janis Joplin and Ravi Shankar. (From the publisher)

"The stories spread themselves out on the page, like late-night conversations in a Chicago bar... The reader is left with the feeling that he is getting the subjects in the raw, hair and guard down, having a great time just being themselves" (GUARDIAN)
"This is vintage Studs Terkel - interviewing forty of the greatest and most deeply human musical figures of our time" (OLIVER SACKS)
"I am not sure how good a singer Studs Terkel is, but he is certainly a great listener, which is one of the key aspects of being a good interviewer. There is a sense throughout that Terkel's show was a place where a performer could relax in the knowledge that they were in the company of a great conversationalist as well as deeply knowledgeable fan... remarkable" (OBSERVER)
"A terrific collection of interviews culled from music historian Studs Terkel's 45-year US radio show. There's not a boring word in here. Partly that's down to the choice of subjects but all credit to the wonderful Terkel" (METRO)
