Jazz musician and lifelong fly fisherman, Dave Bargeron was a
member of the band BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS and many international
jazz orchestras over the span of his 50 year career. This book
showcases the salmon flies he tied for 50 legendary musicians
he knows and with whom he has worked. He weaves stories about
his personal musical experiences with them and relates how he
designed each fly based on their musicianship and individual
signature tunes. The book includes elements of homage, musical
history and autobiography. It is an intimate look at a musical
world seldom shared and two worlds rarely merged. There is
also an historical comparison study that examines the work of
the great salmon fly tying masters of the Victorian age.
Included in the back of the book is Dave's latest CD,
B.R.A.V.O. - Duets With Myself.

REVIEWS FOR JAZZ FLIES: |
"With his
inspired and creative work, Jazz Flies, Dave Bargeron has
clearly defined the link between virtuoso-level jazz music and
fly fishing -- and especially fly tying. A world-renowned
trombonist for many years, his impressions of the jazz greats
with whom he played are brilliantly depicted in his original
salmon fly dressings. Dave's mastery of the intricacies of
full-dress salmon fly tying techniques is elegantly displayed
here. Jazz Flies is truly a masterful work
in all respects."

-- Dick Talleur - America's
pre-eminent fly tyer and author: Pretty and Practical
Salmon Flies |
|
"In the book
Jazz Flies ..."two great passions come to life in a
masterful manner and style of remembrance that brings two great
professions together in harmony of thought which comes through
one's fingertips." |
-- Charles A. Chute - World Renowned
classic salmon fly tyer |
|
"More and
more artists are using the creative potential of the Atlantic
Salmon Fly medium for their personal expression. Dave
Bargeron, in Jazz Flies, has conjoined his two passions,
fly tying and jazz music, in a work that shows us that the whole
is greater than the sum of the parts. His creative flies
take us through his personal journey as artist through
materials, history and inspiration. Bravo Dave!" |
-- Paul Rossman - Master creative
salmon fly tyer and author: Creative Salmon Fly Art |

"Dave
Bargeron brings a totally original perspective to the world of
glamorous, full-dress Atlantic salmon flies. As he discovered
during his journey into the world of classic salmon flies, there
is no "right" way to dress these patterns; all of the great
tiers of yore took their own twists on even the most established
flies. Feeling that improvisational beat, he used the classic
salmon-fly form as a template to create original patterns
dedicated to fifty of the most important jazz musicians of the
20th century. In Jazz Flies, Dave tells the stories of
playing with these musicians, and tying the flies in their
honor." |
