Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
The exhaustive research, useful discographies, and absence of a comparable study on the subject assures this work a place in many collections, but the eccentricities of style and the labyrinth of facts make it, at best, a difficult read and, at worst, annoying. Those with only a casual knowledge of the subject might find themselves lost in the sudden shifts from figure to figure and might also fall easy prey to the author's flippant dismissal of certain performers whose work he holds in undisguised contempt. To become what it pretends to be, this work needs a big infusion of objectivity and an editor with as big an aversion to the parenthetical phrase as Friedwald has to the Ink Spots.

Kurzbeschreibung
This comprehensive study of jazz singing is a revelation to anyone who owns at least one jazz recording and a must for the serious jazz enthusiast. Friedwald traces the growth and development of jazz, discusses performers who have never been thought of as jazz singers, and looks at contemporary artists who have incorporated jazz into their music. 16-page insert.

this book is unusual in that mr friedwald, who has obviously listened and studied his subjects recordings to an almost scholarly degree,is one of the very few music writers/critics whose writing is so engrossing that i want to go and buy all the artists recordings of those he reviews in the pages of this book and yet i find some of his sniping against rock music a wee bit tedious not so much that he does but he telegraphs his punches so when he initially attacks it it's ok but after awhile as you read thru' the book it becomes tedious and virtually blaming mitch miller and in particular elvis presley for the fall of western civilisation is again a bit tedious and over the top.his sniping at linda ronstadt i feel is also unfair because it was her records in the mid 80's that made me a fan of the american popular songbook,not so much her singing which i found not really up to the job but she did introduce a 16 yr old boy to those great songs and the wonderful nelson riddle and riddle actually made his first serious money from her records,he was only paid on a per chart basis for his classic work with frank sinatra as i understand it.his over the top praising of mel torme is too much,he was ok but no way deserving of the rapturous kudos handed out to his work by mr friedwald,he also seemed to ignore one my faves in lena horne,yet he wrote the liner notes to two of the best horne cds out there.flawed but i wouldn't be without this book and i would recommend it to anyone .

Friedwald is not an elegant writer, but he crams a lot of information into the book. This is a controversial subject. I would prefer to limit the lineage to Armstrong-Rushing-Cole-Torme, Holiday-Humes-Fitzgerald-Vaughan-O'Day (and followers), leaving the Crosby-Sinatra-Bennett-Brewer-Clooney group separate as 'jazz-influenced' singers. But it's his book. I think, as others have mentioned, that he really misses the boat by dismissing the Four Freshmen and Hi-Los so contemptuously, and I can't find a thing to admire about Betty Carter's squeaky little voice myself. But those are my opinions. Great discography. Just wince and read on.

Tried hard as I may, but I never found another book as half as passionate about this subject.O.K. I understand that some people have problems with liking the same things as author (I as the first one, LOVE Cleo Laine and he despises her, so what?)but Mr.Friewlad obviously know the field he is writting about and for me its pure pleasure to read this book again and again.I found so many inspirations here, discovered so many names nowadays no one mention anymore and to put it simply, I think this is the best book written about jazz singing.Music being my hobby & passion, I have this book with me as Im travelling and I never get bored with it... I would love to meet Mr.Friewald one day and thank him for the hours of pleasures he gave me with this book and all this suggestions (and to discuss Cleo laine with him)!
