	Jazz/Jerry Jazz Musician/Gary Giddins Blindfold Test Excerpt Answer 7
		Dan's strength is when he gets to the music, which reinforces what we were discussing earlier, because he is about as far from being a musicologist as you can get, but he has the best ears in the business.
		The other great thing Dan does better than anybody else is the way he can write about a musician in such a way that you feel you are in the hands of an objective critic as well as someone who loved the artist as a human being.
		Dan's style of writing in Downbeat and on album liner notes was so convincing and so full of feeling that you wanted to share the experience he was having about that music.

	Living with Jazz : A reader edited by Sheldon Meyer: Current Amazon U.S.A. One-Edition Data (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Morgenstern reminisces about his introduction to jazz in a brief opening memoir, then segues into lengthy sections on his greatest heroes, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington.
		Morgenstern has known most of the musicians he discusses, and he depicts them all with insight and affection, from his rollicking account of the career of lovable "Hot Lips" Page to his sensitive portraits of self-effacing Pee Wee Russell and eccentric Lester Young.
		Now the director of the Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University, Morgenstern is generous in his assessments of performers and performances, and his exuberant characterizations make this monumental volume a stimulating guide to jazz in the second half of the 20th century.

		Austrian-born and a refugee from the Nazis, Morgenstern made it to the United States as soon as he could, but he was already a serious jazz lover even before crossing the Atlantic.
		Morgenstern continues to be a tireless evangelist for jazz.
		When he wasn't out at clubs and concerts, he was spending another long life listening to jazz on record, of which the proof in this collection is a section on the history of recording jazz, the "thankless art" of discography and several of the early small recording companies.

	Jazzcorner's Speakeasy - LIVING WITH JAZZ by Dan Morgenstern
		Morgenstern's fluent, unmannered narrative style is ideally suited to the profile form; with Whitney Balliett, he is as sensitive as any critic has been to the human side of the jazz scene.
		Morgenstern's 1994 essay ''Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man'' actually covers Armstrong's entire lifetime and is the best short introduction to the man who, he writes, ''spread love, happiness and beauty.'' Morgenstern's laser-beam memory locates musical sources for the bebop innovators Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie in Armstrong recordings from 1929.
		Morgenstern, since 1976 the director of the Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University, never mentions jazz education, curiously enough.

		Living With Jazz collects some 650 pages of Morgenstern's writing from 1958 to the present; much of it appeared in publications such as Down Beat (which he edited during the 1960s) and as liner notes for countless recordings.
		There are a couple perceptive pieces on early Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor, but Morgenstern's taste, for the most part, is extremely straight-ahead, with a great fondness for the sound and ethos of the swing era and before.
		And Morgenstern (who heads the Institute for Jazz Studies at Rutgers) has that academic's love for arcana—labels and personnel details and alternate takes and the correction of extremely obscure matters of historical record.

		This is the story of Count Basie, the legendary piano player and bandleader who was especially known for swinging the blues, as told to Albert Murray between 1978 and 1984, and published to great fanfare and stellar reviews in late 1985.
		With a new and valuable introduction by Dan Morgenstern, eminent jazz critic and Director of the Institute for Jazz Studies at Rutgers University, Good Morning Blues will hopefully find its place on the bookshelves of young jazz fans.
		Morgenstern writes in the introduction that Basie knew what to leave in and "exactly what to leave out." His piano style was a pared-down version of the Harlem-stride style of the 1910’s and 1920’s.

		At the same time that he was expanding his sound, Miles took care to build his repertoire throughout the early 1950s.
		Shorter (left) recalls that the first tune Miles saw in Shorter's book was the first one the group recorded: "E.S.P." Miles, spurred on by Shorter's creative instincts and compositions, reached a new level of intuitive ensemble playing in his '60s quintet.
		Although he had created yet another musical genre, Miles left it -- and everything he had created before -- behind in 1974 when he dropped out of music because of fatigue and other health issues.
