Synopsis

The true stories of producers behind jazz’s unforgettable sounds

In histories of music, producers tend to fall by the wayside―generallyunknown and seldom acknowledged. But without them and their contributionsto the art form, we’d have little on record of some of the most importantmusic ever created. Discover the stories behind some of jazz’s best-sellingand most influential albums in this collection of oral histories gathered bymusic scholar and writer Michael Jarrett. Drawing together interviews withover fifty producers, musicians, engineers, and label executives, Jarrett shinesa light on the world of making jazz records by letting his subjects tell theirown stories and share their experiences in creating the American jazz canon.

Packed with fascinating stories and fresh perspectives on over 200albums and artists, including legends such as Louis Armstrong, JohnColtrane, and Miles Davis, as well as contemporary artists such as DianaKrall and Norah Jones, Pressed for All Time tells the unknown stories of the men and women who helped to shape the quintessential American sound.
