Beschreibung:
"New York, June 1961. The Bill Evans Trio, featuring twenty-five-year-old Scott LaFaro on bass, play a series of concerts at the Village Vanguard that will go down in musical history. Shortly afterwards, LaFaro is killed in a car accident, and Evans disappears. This is the story of what happens next. In measured, evocative prose, Intermission takes a period from the life of one of America's great artists and fashions it into a fiction of extraordinary imaginative skill and ambition, presenting an intense and moving portrait of the burdon of grief, and of a man lost to his family and himself."--cover, page 4.
This fine if elusive novel about a jazz giant echoes his art in both its style and its story-telling...A novel as oblique, elusive but quietly hypnotic as its hero's own playing. - Boyd Tonkin, The Independent
