It chronicles some of the key artists that picked up the torch from Bird, Diz, Monk, and Bud to create a music that still stands as the dominant canvas for musicians today. In this Mathieson does an admirable job of satisfying the long-time listener and neophyte alike. The biographical information is good but the real reward was the discographical offerings. Matheson makes it easy to find those albums that both serve as examples of their individual talents and as milestones in American music.
Cookin': Hard Bop and Soul Jazz, by Kenny Mathieson
Cookin' is a recommended read for anyone looking for a way into this time in music. It is also a book for those of us who love revisiting the music and lives of these legends. What an absolute shame that this series ceased to exist. Both books are phenomenal studies in the two most important movements in modern jazz. This is one of my favorite books now.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading and learning so much about all these great people and wonderful musicians whom I have listened to for years and still treasure a whole stack of vinyl featuring every one of them.

One person found this helpful. This overview of the hard bop universe is compellingly written. Superb thumbnail bios of the great hard-boppers lotsa Blue Note guys here with on-the-money descriptions of their recorded output. If you were on the fence about this onedon't be: A significant improvement over the rather over-worked ground of Mathieson's "Giant Steps""Cookin'" has got to be one of the ten best jazz books available full of heart, souland smartsjust like the music it describes!!!

It was a sad omission. Sep 10, Yasmin rated it really liked it. For those that love bop, for those that like bop, for those that tolerate bop and maybe for those that can't stand bop but want to know about the guys behind it and occasional woman than this book is for you. It is a pity there wasn't more women boppers and even more that not enough was said on the one or two, only an honourable mention being the wife of. I very much enjoyed reading Cookin': Hard Bop and Soul Jazz. I liked to learn as I read about the jazz musicians I saw on the T.
