Summary: Delightfulee inspiring.....
Comment: This overview of the hard bop universe is compellingly written. Superb thumbnail bios of the great hard-boppers (lotsa Blue Note guys here)---with on-the-money descriptions of their recorded output. If you were on the fence about this one---don't be: it's f*a*n*t*a*s*t*i*c. A significant improvement over the rather over-worked ground of Mathieson's "Giant Steps"---"Cookin'" has got to be one of the ten best jazz books available (full of heart, soul---and smarts---just like the music it describes!!!). Keep two eyes out for his next volume---on the more "out" post-bop/modal explorers---keep up the great work Kenny, m'laddie!!!

Summary: A "must-read" for all true jazz lovers
Comment: Cookin': Hard Bop And Soul Jazz 1954-65 by freelance music writer is an informed and informative study, analysis, and history of two of the major jazz styles that grew to flourish after World War II: hard bop and soul jazz. An engaging presentation that traces the rhythm and cultural influences contributing to the growth of jazz, and offers song recommendations for the devoted jazz enthusiast to listen to while pondering theories and evaluations of the music itself. Cookin' is a "must-read" for all true jazz lovers who ardently desire to learn more about the history and character of jazz.
