The JAzz ALPHABET 2 (The FLipside) - 2025

Back by popular demand, The Jazz Alphabet 2 (The Flipside) is a very personal celebration of 26 jazz greats, in pictures and words. From Louis Armstrong to Joe Zawinul, with visual stops along the way at the Green Mill Lounge in Chicago and Birdland in New York. Settle back with your favorite libation (whatever that might be), and take a stroll among well known jazz artists, and some that aren't as well known. And while you're at it, might I suggest turning on some music? After all, this book comes with a soundtrack.

Excerpt from the Jazz Alphabet 2 Foreword by Corky Siegel, Internationally known, award-winning musician and composer: My love of music doesn’t end with music, because everything in some way shares the space where music exists — like the poignant riffs and vocabulary of Neil Shapiro’s The Jazz Alphabet. Music heals us from the inside out and the outside in. It uplifts the world. It brings people together because it is universally harmonizing. It is artistically, psychologically, socially, and even politically unifying. Music is kindness in action. And for me, in the case of The Jazz Alphabet, an alphabet has never been so kind.
