| Abstract | Through the exciting and rapid changes of the 1960s and 1970s, Impulse Records was the sound of jazz tradition and the shape of jazz to come--edgy, soulful, and elegantly packaged. This book recounts in layman-friendly terms the full story of this unusual and fascinating company, tracing its nearly two-decade arc of artistic triumphs and unlikely marketing coups. Leaning on extensive archival research and interviews with well over fifty musicians, industry executives, and producers. This book features over one hundred illustrations, as well as thirty-six album profiles detailing the inside stories of some of the most enduring jazz recordings of all time. |
