Description
The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Jazz and Blues, now fully updated based on the illustrated edition, is the definitive guide to two musical styles that fundamentally influenced popular music. The book is divided into chapters, each covering a different era, tracing the evolution of jazz and blues from their 19th-century African American origins to the present day. Each chapter begins with a Sounds & Sources section, examining key musical changes during that period. Following this is a list of artists from that time, from A to Z, with more detailed entries on key figures, including recommended classic recordings. Additional sections cover styles, ranging from Ragtime through Bebop and Texas Blues to Rhythm & Blues and beyond; and Instruments. Written by a team of experts, this invaluable encyclopedia is comprehensive, user-friendly, and packed with information.
