Description
Icons of Jazz presents a selection of representatives from all aspects of the genre: the New Orleans and Dixieland of the first two decades of the century; the swing and jump music of the twenties and thirties; bebop and its legacy of the forties and fifties; the free-jazz of the sixties, jazz-rock from the seventies, and the melting-pot that jazz in the eighties and still is in the nineties and the new millennium. Each entry includes details of the life and work of the artist or band featured, recommends seminal recordings, and is illustrated with top-quality photographs.
