About
The Place Of Jazz In World Music...
Its history from new Orleans to the present day...
Its beauty as music...
And the greatness of the people who made it...
This is a book for everyone who loves music-classical or jazz; for the one who performs or the one who makes up his audience. To either one it will contribute much for a better understanding and appreciation of this greatest and most widely participated in art.
Everyone knows about jazz. We listen to it, we sing it, play it and dance to it. Yet it is the great unknown music.
Jazz, A People's Music describes all the developments of jazz from the early blues to present-day "bebop." And just as the study of a composer's music must include the man himself, here is an account of the growth of jazz as well as the study of all the American people, of every nationality and color, who have nurtured and welcomed this music and brought new and exciting variations of it into being.
