For fifty years The Jazz Book has
been the most encyclopedic interpretive history of jazz available in
one volume. In this new seventh edition, each chapter has been
completely revised and expanded to incorporate the dominant styles and
musicians since the book’s last publication in 1992, as well as the
fruits of current research about earlier periods in the history of jazz.
In addition, new chapters have been added on John Zorn, jazz in the
1990s and beyond, samplers, the tuba, the harmonica, non-Western
instruments, postmodernist and repertory big bands, how the avant-garde
has explored tradition, and many other subjects. With a widespread
resurgence of interest in jazz, The Jazz Book will
continue well into the 21st century to fill the need for information
about an art form widely regarded as America’s greatest contribution to
the world’s musical culture.
