An interesting experience . Ed Meyer has done his home work well, and the result is a book that yields a lot of information about Davern that was heretofore known only to a select few in his circle of family and close friends. While much of this information is surprising, some of it is stunning. Meyer has done nothing in his book to make some of the more eye-opening aspects of Davern's life sensationalized in any way. He simply presents the story of Davern's life and art in a straight forward, informed and informative manner, and done so in a highly readable volume that is the essence of what a good jazz biography should be . This book helps greatly in putting the complete Kenny Davern into a proper perspective., [This] is an exhaustively researched and very readable account that carries its subject from his earliest years to his final moments. Kenny Davern, who was born in 1935, was one of the most talented and respected jazz clarinetists of his time.... This is truly an estimable and thorough contribution to jazz historiography., This fine biography tells [John Kenneth Davern's] story with insightful affection and reinforces his important place in jazz history. The author knew him well, has researched extensively and interviewed all the key people who knew and worked with Kenny....The sturdily bound and clearly printed book has a full discography....The book seems especially appealing for Jazz Journal's core readers., A thorough...outline of Davern's life, his playing priorities and aspirations and a clear-eyed look at his many recordings as sideman or leader. There's a complete discography and a good selection of photographs....Those who appreciated Davern as a good companion and consummate player will find much to enjoy here., It's hard to imagine a more complete coverage of the man and his music than what Ed Meyer has written., Homage to Davern recently appeared in the form of a fine biography....Meyer has done his homework thoroughly in preparing this study. In addition to that with Davern, he interviewed more than 50 musicians and others who worked with or knew the clarinetist well....Discographical information seems to be carefully compiled and is clearly presented. It is a valuable component of the book....This book is an excellent account of the life and music of a major jazz musician of the last half of the twentieth century. It should be of interest to all clarinetists who care about that genre of music., An interesting experience….

The unique and instantly recognizable sound of his clarinet, coupled with a wide ranging intellect and quick sense of humor drew praise and applause and endeared him to his fans and friends.

Beginning with the tragic events that shaped his early life, Meyer traces Davern's growth from a young boy raised in an atmosphere of conflict into an acclaimed, self-assured musician and a warm and loving husband and father.

- 5***a (0)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufEverything came as promised and the books are in good condition. There was some issues with the tracking number, but they were good about communicating with me on it when I reached out. The second package showed up on my door step unexpectedly after 5PM that day. I would buy from this seller again.
- i***n (932)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufI was back and forth on neutral or positive feedback. Seller does not respond to messages. Books dust jacket was in far worse condition than shown in the pictures could have been because how it was packaged. While it was shipped promptly, the package was a simple bubble mailer. For collectible books such as this, I’d expect it in a box. I ship books with media mail too and it doesn’t cost any more to use a box instead of plastic mailers. Book did arrive though and the pricing was reasonable.Fairyloot The Forest Grimm by Kathryn Purdie Exclusive Edition Digital Signature (Nr. 176931227352)
