Whisky and Jazz
Written by Hans Offringa
Photography/Design by Gijs Dragt
Jack McCray, jazz expert
According to Artie Shaw “Jazz was born in a whisky barrel …” A perfect quotation for a book like this, in which Hans Offringa ingeniously connects 10 famous jazz musicians with 10 excellent single malt whiskies. The result is a collection of 10 unique blends, each carrying a blue note as well as a tasting note, presented in a “sippin’ and tasting guide.” The historical context in which jazz and whisky are placed makes this a publication that will appeal not only to whisky aficionados but also to those who love history and (jazz)music. The stunning four-color photographs were shot by award-winning artist Gijs Dragt of the Netherlands, who also designed the book. Charlestonian jazz writer Jack McCray served as the book’s contributing editor. |

Into these real events, steps a fictional character. A reporter from New York is assigned to cover a story with would seem to be a fait accompli. The outsider's view of Charleston just after the turn of the century, still clinging to a cultural past and caught in the racial realities of the time, brings a Menckenesque perspective to a plot that is anything but a simple tale of racial wrongdoing. |
