“Bob Blumenthal has been an excellent and principled jazz writer for many years. I respect his views and I recommend his new book.” -- Sonny Rollins
The supreme illustrated guide to every aspect of jazz and jazz culture
If you’ve heard of the Cotton Club, but you’re not quite a “hep cat” yet, this is the perfect introduction to jazz, complete with a detailed history of the genre, features on the legendary artists, and everything else one needs to become a jazz connoisseur. From the music’s beginnings and the cities where it all started to the artists and independent record labels that spread it around the world, Jazz shows how the musical style evolved into a major contribution to the cultural world, and includes:
• Breakdowns of key elements—improvisation, blues, swing, solos, and interplay
• In-depth accounts of musicians from Duke Ellington to Dizzy Gillespie
• History of the various eras and their development
• Jazz dictionary and slang usages

Store description
Sharing is the best surprise When we share our excess with others we¿re often surprised by what we feel, what changes in us, and who we get to know in the process. Sharehouse Goods exists to create that experience for as many people as possible. Sharehouse Goods receives excess stuff from individuals or organizations (our sharers), and then we liquidate that stuff, creating jobs for people in Milwaukee. The process is simple: we receive what people are willing to share, and then we sell it online or at our storefront, creating revenue for the sharers (to keep or to donate), and jobs for people who are struggling to find employment. There¿s a lot of sharing going on, and even more surprises, at Sharehouse Goods.…
