Jazz Cooks: Portraits and Recipes of the Greats

by Bob Young

More than 90 of the top international jazz musician-cooks such as Dizzy Gillespie, Wynton and Branford Marsalis, Max Roach, Carmen McRae, MyCoy Tyner and Sonny Rollins talk about two things near to their hearts - music and food. Anecdotal biographies and stories about favourite foods - based on interviews with the artists - provide insight into how each got started in the business, life on the road, and culinary as well as musical influences. Each musician gives a recipe for his or her own special dish and for each, this book suggest some of the artist's own music to go along with preparing or enjoying the food. This book is arranged by instrument.
