Early Jazz

Early JazzA concise history of early jazz, from its major innovators to its unrecognized heroes. Early Jazz is an overview of the beginnings of jazz from its nineteenth century roots through 1929, when elements of the Swing Era began to emerge. It is the first book on early jazz history in over fifty years and fills a compelling need for an update that reflects recent research.
