`The best one-volume history of jazz.' That is how the American Music Guide described the book that Louis Armstrong once said `held ol' Satch spellbound'. A unique blend of history and criticism, this lively and perceptive book includes chapters on such jazz giants as King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, John Coltrane, and Ornette Coleman. In addition to an expanded essay on Count Basie, this revised edition also includes pieces on Eric Dolphy, Bill Evans, and the World Saxophone Quartet.
'Jazz as a music provides writers with a deep well as a subject matter. Add this book to the collection if you missed it the first time round, it is among the best.' Claudia Caprez, Weekly Journal
'it is never less than stimulating' Brian Glasser, Q
