Paperback. Condition: New. Jazz in Nazi-era and postwar Germany, as lived by a Jewish prodigy who survived the horrors of Theresienstadt and Auschwitz."Coco, it's not important what you play. It's important how you play it," said Louis Armstrong to jazz and swing guitarist Coco Schumann during a break between sessions. Recalling this episode Schumann reminds readers that even in the midst of real-world nightmares, music is alive and musicians experience this essential freedom and hope, which they can, in turn, give to their audiences. Throughout his remarkable life, Coco Schumann (b. 1924) would accumulate accolades, including the Order of Merit from the Federal Republic of Germany in 1989 and the prestigious Ehrenpreise Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015, and play with jazz greats Toots Thielemans, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and others. But few knew he relied on composing music and performing for live audiences to ease the burden of his wartime memories. After forty years of silence Schumann's memoir opened a rare window into the previously unknown life of one of Germany's most renowned musicians, who was a member of the vibrant and illegal Berlin club scene, a part of the cultural revival of postwar Berlin, and a survivor of Theresienstadt (Terezin) and the horrors of Auschwitz.Shortlisted for the 2017 A.R.S.C. Awards for Excellence in Historical Research in Jazz. Includes over 50 historical documents and rare photographs.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. First English translation of legendary jazz and swing musician Coco Schumann's memoir, Auschwitz survivor and member of Theresienstadt's Ghetto Swingers.Coco Schumann's career as a jazz and swing musician spans more than seventy years and is replete with honors. But for decades Schumann bore his wartime experiences as a Holocaust survivor in silence, with only the pleasure of composing music and performing for live audiences to ease the burden of his most haunting memories. In his memoir, Schumann recounts the vibrant underground club scenes of Berlin in the years surrounding World War II as well as providing backstage glimpses into Berlin's famous nightlife, where he shared the stage with such jazz notables as Helmut Zacharias, Tullio Mobiglia, Toots Thielemans, and American visitors like Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie and Ella Fitzgerald. At the same time, The Ghetto Swinger offers Schumann's harrowing testimony from 1943-1945 about daily life inside Theresienstadt (Terezn) and Auschwitz, and provides readers with the important perspective of a Jewish Holocaust survivor who remained in Germany after the war.In his home country, Schumann is a celebrated personality. But until now, his life story hasn't been accessible to English-speaking audiences. Featuring rare photographs and an Afterword by Weimar- and Nazi-era culture scholar Michael H. Kater, The Ghetto Swinger is an engrossing historical document as much as it is a heartwarming memoir. Jazz in Nazi-era and postwar Germany, as lived by a Jewish prodigy who survived the horrors of Theresienstadt and Auschwitz.

Audio-CD. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Der Ghetto-Swinger live! Auf dieser live eingespielten CD zeigt sich die ganze Meisterschaft des Mannes, der einst in den Berliner Jazzkellern der 30er Jahre die hohe Schule des Swing erlernte: Coco Schumann. Mit unnachahmlichem Rhythmusgefühl leitet der Gitarrist seine Mitspieler durch mehrere Jazz-Standards, ein Repertoire, das immer wieder neu erfunden werden will. Nicht um oberflächliche Zurschaustellung technischer Fertigkeiten geht es hier, die Virtuosität liegt vielmehr im rein Musikalischen, wenn die Stücke anfangen, leise zu atmen und man dem Weg der Improvisation gespannt folgen kann. Darin liegt das ganze Leben, play or die, aber ohne Pathos. Natürlich sind auch einige zupackende Klassiker dabei, am spannendsten wird es aber, wenn Schumann sich selbst überrascht: So schön, sagt er, habe er 'Autumn Leaves' noch nie gespielt. Keine Nostalgie, sondern geniale Musik im hier und jetzt.
