Tooting my own horn, but not really -- I edited this book, but what's good about it comes from its staff of writers and the superb photo research. This book can be poured over by people of all ages for discovery about great American culture and personages. Probably less interesting to experts in jazz and blues than to newcomers or people with some knowledge, eager to learn more.
This well-illustrated book makes for an intriguing reference on some of the greatest American artists of the 20th century. Lots and lots of books and studies fail to join jazz and blues at all, and none do as clearly or as effortlessly as this much-needed and very worthwhile volume. It is both comprehensive and sensible.It covers a lot of ground. Though I wish it had more information on specific solos, which is where we really get a grasp of the depth of artistry here, this is the best book of its kind I have seen and I am grateful for it.
Dear ,Thank you very much for this book.Excellent, very good printed and beautiful book.Very usefull for musicians and other intellectual people.Vakhtang,Georgia
