Specification
Offering a global and sociological approach to music, the Mélomaniac collection is built on the strong idea of always placing musical works, instrumental life or vocal practice at the heart of human history.
Whether it is a Honegger Pacific 231 illustrating early 20th century machinery, a presentation of didjeridoo in relation to aboriginal cultures in Australia, or even a sacred gdang song by Tibetan monks, You will find in the various Mélomaniac works a real catch between the musical facts and their context of existence. To read, to watch and to listen, here is the account of the great adventure of jazz in the XXth century, with its legendary characters (Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Glenn Miller, Chet Baker ...) and its historical styles (blues, new orleans, gospel, swing, be bop, jazz-rock ...).
With its 176-page book and its 3 CDs, this box set presents itself as a passionately written guide that will offer everyone a dive into the heart of one of the most beautiful musical epics that are:
