19th Century forerunners through today. The text takes readers on
an historical audio and video tour of select jazz performances of
the last hundred years. All of the major styles of jazz-including
the predecessors of jazz, Ragtime and Blues-are covered, including
New Orleans style, Chicago style, Stride piano, Swing, Bebop, Cool,
Hard Bop, modal, Free jazz, freer jazz, and Fusion. Major
performers include Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, Fats Waller,
Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Dizzy
Gillespie, Gerry Mulligan Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, Horace Silver,
John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Ornette Coleman, Herbie Hancock, and
Keith Jarrett, among others. For easy access to the music described
in the text, the revised first edition features an online, active
learning component with links to audio and video recordings, as
well as listening guides. Jazz Journey is an ideal reading and
listening experience for jazz appreciation courses for non-majors.
