Mabuhay Jazz: Jazz in Postwar Philippines by Richie Quirino

"Like a Renaissance man, Richie began this work with the distinct advantage of having been a performing artist in jazz prior to his scholarly ventures. Richie's passion for history most likely came from his father, the late Carlos Quirino, Philippine National Artist for historical literature. Steeped in the researcher's discipline of dogged and relentless pursuit of rare documents, memorabilia, interviews, photos, and audio/visual recordings, Richie has amassed a sizable archive from which he has drawn material to create this volume, Mabuhay Jazz: Jazz in Postwar Philippines the second in the series of books on the development and evolution of jazz in the Philippines. It is the worthy continuation of the first book, Pinoy Jazz Traditions (Anvil), which won the 2004 National Book Award in the Music category."
