Jazz & Comic

A great combination for those who enjoy both, but must be experienced in practice, that is read with a background music. For the more sophisticated, wine or whiskey cigarillos, cigars and the like. The truth is that jazz infected many comic and these in turn reflected in the drawings a passion for style. The American creator Robert Crumb Fritz the Cat was one of them. Crumb over 20 years began with his collection of externs Vinis of Blues and Jazz.

Since then began to design in homage to the masters of the Blues. In "Heroes of the Blues" Crumb tells the story of Charlie Patton beyond the book provides stories that Crumb has been building over the years that show and criticize the evolution of popular music through the twentieth century. The publisher Conrad Brazil edited this book called Blues. It is worth it is a compilation of this and other stories collected in this issue. Another novelty also released in Brazil by Editora LP & M is the work of the Argentine-Muñoz Sampayo on Billie Holiday.
In other languages there are comic works that have become classics to the example of Belgian Louis Joos. In the '80s he began the first sketches on Thelounius pianist Monk and Charles Mingus on later. In Italy where jazz was always in flux, the scene of the comic is also very strong. I recently read the book of Paolo Parisi, Coltrane. The work brings the author's personal impressions on the masterpiece of the musician "A Love Supreme."

Another cartoon that speaks indirectly of jazz is the second volume of Jazz series Maynard police Spanish duo Raule and Roger Ibáñez Ugena. Maynard is a jazz trumpeter and a thief in his spare time, who lives in Barcelona, Spain. I think that is available in Brazil, worth checking out!
