New 'Whisky & Jazz' Coffee-Table Book Combines the Best of Two Worlds

New 'Whisky & Jazz' Coffee-Table Book Combines the Best of Two Worlds

NEW YORK, Dec. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Evening Post Books is proud to present Whisky & Jazz, a one-of-a-kind coffee-table book about two of the finer things in life - great single malt whisky and jazz music. The beautiful, oversized, 208-page book covers not only the history of whisky and jazz, but highlights ten superlative single malt distilleries and the careers of ten legendary jazz artists. The book culminates in an experiential tasting and listening guide with recommended top picks from whisky connoisseur and international author Hans Offringa.

This museum-quality book, written by Mr. Offringa (with American jazz historian Jack McCray as contributing editor) rewards its readers with wonderfully lush photographs from award-winning artist, Gijs Dragt. The framework of the books is as follows:

-- Foundational chapters on the history of jazz and whisky complete with
origins, etymology and principal characteristics of each
-- Chapters on ten remarkable jazz performers describing not only their
music, but what made them truly special artists
-- Chapters on ten whisky distilleries detailing their unique history and
the single malt whiskies they superlatively produce
-- Wrap-up chapters provide a subjective "Best Of...." where Mr. Offringa
beautifully pairs jazz selections with top-notch whisky, thereby
giving readers an opportunity to further elevate their appreciation of
the music and the drink


Whisky & Jazz appeals to a broad range of readers who enjoy history, music, whisky....or all three! The essence of the book is wonderfully captured in the introduction written by whisky journalist Dave Broom: "Jazz is not background music, it sets the mood, it opens the mind. A glass of malt does the same. So does this book."

The book may be purchased online at www.eveningpostbooks.com.
