Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In eight poetically charged vignettes, Geoff Dyer skillfully evokes the mus ic and the men who shaped modern jazz. Drawing on photos, anecdotes, and, m ost important, the way he hears the music, Dyer imaginatively reconstructs scenes from the embattled lives of some of the giants of jazz: Lester Young fading away in an hotel room; Charles Mingus storming down the streets of New York on a too-small bicycle; Thelonious Monk creating his own private l anguage on the piano. However, music is really the driving force of But Bea utiful, and Dyer brings it to life in a luminescent and wildly metaphoric p rose style that mirrors the quirks, eccentricity, and brilliance of each mu sician's style.
