Jazz is a music formed from a combination of influences. In its
infancy, jazz was a melting pot of military brass bands, work songs
and field hollers of the United States slaves during the 19th
century, European harmonies and forms, and the rhythms of Africa
and the Caribbean. Later, the blues and the influence of Spanish
and French Creoles with European classical training nudged jazz
further along in its development. Jazz has always been a
world-music in the sense that music from around the globe has been
embraced and incorporated. The Historical Dictionary of Jazz covers
the history of Jazz through a chronology, an introductory essay,
and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over
1,500 cross-referenced entries on significant jazz performers, band
leaders, bands, venues, record labels, recordings, and the
different styles of jazz. This book is an excellent access point
for students, researchers, and anyone seeking a broader
understanding of the history of jazz and the connections within the
genre.
