The Jazz Standards, a comprehensive guide to the most important
jazz compositions, is a unique resource, a browser's companion, and
an invaluable introduction to the art form. This essential book for
music lovers tells the story of more than 250 key jazz songs, and
includes a listening guide to more than 2,000 recordings.
Many books recommend jazz CDs or discuss musicians and styles, but
this is the first to tell the story of the songs themselves. The
fan who wants to know more about a jazz song heard at the club or
on the radio will find this book indispensable. Musicians who play
these songs night after night now have a handy guide, outlining
their history and significance and telling how they have been
performed by different generations of jazz artists. Students
learning about jazz standards now have a complete reference work
for all of these cornerstones of the repertoire.
Author Ted Gioia, whose body of work includes the award-winning The
History of Jazz and Delta Blues, is the perfect guide to lead
readers through the classicsof the genre. As a jazz pianist and
recording artist, he has performed these songs for decades. As a
music historian and critic, he has gained a reputation as a leading
expert on jazz. Here he draws on his deep experience with this
music in creating the ultimate work on the subject.
An introduction for new fans, a useful handbook for jazz
enthusiasts and performers, and an important reference for students
and educators, The Jazz Standards belongs on the shelf of every
serious jazz lover or musician.
