  • Overview

    Todo lo que siempre has querido saber sobre Murakami y el jazz, contado por el propio autor.

    «Una joya.» Jorge Coscarón, Esquire
    «Tan hermoso como ameno.» Eduardo Bravo, GQ
    «Un libro perfecto para leer con los oídos mientras rinde un excepcional tributo a unos artistas imprescindibles.» Martín Page, El Cultural
    «Demuestra la capacidad de Murakami para convertir las notas musicales en una prosa inigualable que nos envuelve en su melodía.» Iván Orio, El Correo
    «Murakami logra atrapar en estos textos de forma prodigiosa el vínculo íntimo, emocional y subjetivo que establecemos con las creaciones artísticas.» Mauricio Bach, Letra Global
    «Si les gusta el jazz, no deben perderse este libro de Murakami.» Luis M. Alonso, La Nueva España

    Haruki Murakami regentó durante años un club de jazz, llamado Peter Cat, antes de dedicarse a tiempo completo a la escritura. Sin duda, al abrir este volumen el lector tendrá la sensación de haberse sentado a una de las mesas del local mientras el propio Murakami le cuenta anécdotas y pormenores de las canciones que se escuchan, en un tono confidencial, cálido y entusiasta. La pasión del escritor japonés por el jazz le llevó a escribir este libro compuesto por cincuenta y cinco retratos de músicos de jazz, acompañados de una ilustración del artista japonés Wada Makoto y de un comentario sobre un álbum de cada músico. Gracias a Murakami, cada «entrada» se convierte en una pequeña y deliciosa historia, en un fragmento de memoria autobiográfica, en consejos a la hora de escuchar a un intérprete, o en frescas pinceladas para describir a un artista o una época. Así, desde el mítico Chet Baker hasta Ella Fitzgerald, por el libro desfilan grandes figuras como Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Bill Evans o Art Pepper.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know About Murakami and Jazz—Told by the Author Himself.

    “A gem.” — Jorge Coscarón, Esquire
    “As beautiful as it is engaging.” — Eduardo Bravo, GQ
    “A perfect book to listen to as you read, paying exceptional tribute to essential artists.” — Martín Page, El Cultural
    “Murakami masterfully transforms musical notes into prose, wrapping us in his melody.” — Iván Orio, El Correo
    “He brilliantly captures the intimate, emotional, and personal connection we form with artistic creations.” — Mauricio Bach, Letra Global
    “If you love jazz, you can’t miss this book by Murakami.” — Luis M. Alonso, La Nueva España

    Before dedicating himself entirely to writing, Haruki Murakami ran a jazz club called Peter Cat for years. Open this book, and you’ll feel like you’ve taken a seat at the bar, listening to Murakami himself as he shares anecdotes and stories about the songs playing—his tone warm, personal, and full of enthusiasm.

    Murakami’s deep love for jazz led him to craft this book, which features fifty-five portraits of legendary jazz musicians. Each profile is paired with an illustration by Japanese artist Wada Makoto and Murakami’s thoughts on an essential album from each musician’s repertoire. Thanks to Murakami’s storytelling, every entry transforms into a delightful little tale—a glimpse into his own memories, advice on how to listen to a performer, or vivid brushstrokes that bring an artist or an era to life.

    From the iconic Chet Baker to Ella Fitzgerald, this book is filled with legends: Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Bill Evans, Art Pepper, and many more.
