Wood, Roger TEXAS ZYDECO
University of Texas Press 2006 1st Edition Hardcover Illustrated by James Fraher
0292712588 Brand New: SIGNED BY AUTHOR, Roger Wood, and PHOTOGRAPHER, James Fraher. ; B&W Photographs; Small 4to 9" - 11"; 323 pp; Black Creoles from Louisiana began moving into southeast Texas in search of better jobs during the first half of the twentieth century. As they resettled, so did their music. Texas Zydeco describes how many of the most formative players and moments in modern zydeco history developed in Texas, especially Houston. As the new players traveled back and forth between Houston and Lafayette, Louisiana, they spread the new sound along a "zydeco corridor" that is the musical axis around which zydeco revolves to this day. Roger Wood and James Fraher spent years traveling this corridor, interviewing and photographing hundreds of authentic musicians, dancers, club owners, and fans. As their words and images make clear, zydeco, both historically and today, belongs not to a state but to all the people of the upper Gulf Coast. ; Signed by Author & Illustrator 5485
