This book, first published in 1982, shows that jazz and blues are
music forms that are about individualism, experiment, expression
and feeling. From their origin in the work songs and spirituals of
America's southern slaves, through to their adaptation to the urban
adaptation to the urban environment in Chicago and New Orleans, the
author details the social and economic background that saw the
birth of the blues and jazz, and introduces and appraises their
leading exponents. He shows how African rhythms were combined with
an American musical tradition to produce a distinctive style which
was to revitalise Western music.
