Description
Jazz: A Comprehensive History of America's Unique Music This book offers a fresh perspective on the story of jazz, tracing its history over the last hundred years from its African American roots to its current diversity. Giddins and DeVeaux provide an in-depth exploration of the music, its innovators, and the broader context of American life and culture. With vibrant photographs by Herman Leonard, Jazz is also a visual history of a century of music. The authors explain what jazz is, where it came from, and who created it and why, all within the backdrop of American history, commerce, and politics.
