LONGER DESCRIPTION:
From the book's back cover:
"Here is a brilliant and deeply informed overview of jazz history, one which
gives a rich sense of who the major figures were and how they fit in with
one another while showing the reader what to listen for and which recordings
are indispensable for a full experience of the music. No other book fuses a
singular examination of the key recordings with a presentation of the entire
sweep of the music's classic period to provide the listener with such a
useful and spirited companion."
- WYNTON MARSALIS
