About this book
Equipping you with a true feel for the vibrant, ever-changing sound of jazz, the captivating JAZZ: THE FIRST 100 YEARS, NON-MEDIA EDITION, 3e explores the development of jazz music from its nineteenth-century roots in blues and ragtime, through swing and bebop, to fusion and contemporary jazz styles. Completely up to date, the text devotes a full third of its coverage to performers from the 1960s to the present day. It also includes expansive coverage of women in jazz.
