This is the definitive history of America's most enduring native music. Beginning with the African tribal music transported here by black slaves, the author traces the roots of jazz through the blues, the New Orleans style, ragtime, swing, bebop, the cool school, free jazz, and the recent fusion of jazz and rock. He offers insightful analyses of the musical figures and colorations that distinguish individual artists' styles and compositions, with separate chapters devoted to the giants: Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, Jelly Roll Morton, Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, and John Coltrane. With a selected discography of the all-time great jazz albums round out this book as a listener's bible. Illustrated with 'B&W' photos through out. /// This is a reprinted 1st edition paperback in good condition-the spine is slightly creased. (543 pages). Originally published in 1978.
