Presentation

What if fake biographies were more truthful than scholarly ones? With impressionistic language, Alain Gerber lends his voice to saxophonist Sonny Criss and recounts not the facts but the lived experience of jazz.
Through these imaginary memoirs, a sensitive truth emerges: Black California in the 1950s, with its smoke-filled clubs, fragile heroes, and the protective shadow of Charlie Parker. We encounter Dizzy, Dexter Gordon, Teddy Edwards, Hampton Hawes, Eric Dolphy, and a whole generation of musicians torn between marginality and greatness. This book is not a historical reconstruction: it is an immersion in the atmosphere, emotion, and condition of these creators, filling the silence left by Sonny Criss, whose written voice we sorely missed.
