I Really Want to Understand Jazz: [Chinese]

By Masahiro Goto

Why is jazz not outdated and always "fresh"? What are the "same tunes" that jazz musicians like to play and how to compare different versions? What are the must-hear albums of the jazz masters? Why is 21st century jazz the "strongest music" in the history of jazz? What are some recommended musicians and albums to listen to? What are the specialties of Japanese jazz teahouses and why is it worth a pilgrimage to enjoy the jazz time while drinking coffee and listening to vinyl records? The author is a veteran music fan who started running the jazz teahouse Eagle in 1967 at the age of 20, and has witnessed the changes in the jazz scene for more than half a century. Through this book, he has compiled the essence of his listening experience of the past 60 years, and has removed the essentials to help readers build a comprehensive basic knowledge of contemporary jazz, which, with the use of friendly illustrations, is considered to be a divine guide to jazz, full of stories, and full of affinity.
