"A gorgeous and lyrical collection of nocturnal jazz reveries." --The New Yorker "But Beautifulis the only book about jazz that I have recommended to my friends. It is a ge, with the distinction of being 'about' jazz rather than 'on' jazz. If closeness to the material determines a great solo, Mr. Dyer's bookisone."--Keith Jarrett "Dyer turns jazz into poetry and his subjects into a beautiful sad music....Few will be unmoved by his passion and eloquence."--Tom Graves,The Washington Post Book World, "A gorgeous and lyrical collection of nocturnal jazz reveries." --The New Yorker "But Beautifulis the only book about jazz that I have recommended to my friends.

Synopsis
A betting man . . . Sometimes Ty Clayton wins; sometimes he loses. But he never, ever gives up. A failed investment has forced him to work for his domineering father at mega-corporation TexAmerica. His can't-fail assignment: the acquisition of Ike's Home-Style Bar-B-Q, a popular but in-the-red restaurant in Angel Springs, Colorado. There's just one problem, however-a big one in a size 6 package. The widowed owner of Ike's, Anna McAllister, doesn't want to sell. Not to anyone, but especially not to Ty Clayton. A woman who plays it safe . . . Anna McAllister doesn't take risks: not with her business, and not with her heart. Riding herd on her all-boy son and cantankerous grandfather while fending off Ike's greedy competitor, Porky Lundgren, keeps her too busy to think about sex, love, or romance. Until Ty Clayton roars into town on his Harley, that is. Then the memory of a stolen kiss, and his blazing dark eyes, ignite a desire like none she's ever known. But will his past mistakes-and his current secrets-keep her from gambling on love?, In eight poetically charged vignettes, Geoff Dyer skillfully evokes the music and the men who shaped modern jazz. Drawing on photos, anecdotes, and, most important, the way he hears the music, Dyer imaginatively reconstructs scenes from the embattled lives of some of the greats: Lester Young fading away in a hotel room; Charles Mingus storming down the streets of New York on a too-small bicycle; Thelonious Monk creating his own private language on the piano. However, music is the driving force of But Beautiful, and wildly metaphoric prose that mirrors the quirks, eccentricity, and brilliance of each musician's style.
