An updated new edition of Ted Gioia's universally acclaimed history
of jazz, with a wealth of new insight on this music's past,
present, and future. Ted Gioia's The History of Jazz has been
universally hailed as the most comprehensive and accessible history
of the genre of all time. Acclaimed by jazz critics and fans alike,
this magnificent work is now available in an up-to-date third
edition that covers the latest developments in the jazz world and
revisits virtually every aspect of the music. Gioia's story of jazz
brilliantly portrays the most legendary jazz players, the
breakthrough styles, and the scenes in which they evolved. From
Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington at the Cotton Club, Miles
Davis's legendary 1955 performance at the Newport Jazz Festival,
and Ornette Coleman's experiments with atonality to current
innovators such as Kamasi Washington and Esperanza Spalding, Gioia
takes readers on a sweeping journey through the history of jazz. As
he traces the music through the swamp lands of the Mississippi
Delta, the red light district of New Orleans, the rent parties of
Harlem, the speakeasies of Chicago, and other key locales of jazz
history, Gioia also makes the social contexts in which the music
was born come alive. This new edition finally brings the often
overlooked women who shaped the genre into the spotlight and traces
the recent developments that have led to an upswing of jazz in
contemporary mainstream culture. As it chronicles jazz from its
beginnings and most iconic figures to its latest dialogues with
popular music, the developments of the digital age, and new
commercial successes, Gioia's History of Jazz reasserts its status
as the most authoritative survey of this fascinating music.
