Jazz: The Basics gives a brief introduction to a century of
jazz, ideal for students and interested listeners who want to learn
more about this important musical style. The heart of the book
traces jazz's growth from its folk origins through early recordings
and New Orleans stars; the big-band and swing era; bebop; cool jazz
and third stream; avant-garde; jazz-rock; and the neo-conservative
movement of the 1980s and 1990s.
Key figures from each era including: Louis Armstrong, Benny
Goodman, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and Wynton Marsalis are
highlighted along with classic works. The book concludes with a
list of the 100 essential recordings to own, along with a timeline
and glossary. Jazz: The Basics serves as an excellent introduction
to the players, the music, and the styles that make jazz 'America's
classical music.'
