A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

JAZZ - A CRASH COURSE is a guide to the people, the terminology and the hundred-year history of one of the few truly global musical movements. Follow jazz from its birth in the deep South through its early move into the cities and on to the great era of Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and King Oliver. Track its tricky history after the Beiderbecke years: Big Bands, Swing, Boogie-Woogie, Bop, Cool, Modal, Free, Improv - it's no wonder you need a crash course. Just keeping up with Miles Davis is a challenge in itself. If you want to find out what's cool - or possibly hot - then JAZZ - A CRASH COURSE is the book you need.
