open our order pageAndrew Clark (editor)
Continuum, 2001
Paperback. 504pp
£30.00

Riffs & ChorusesRiffs and Choruses is an anthology of writings about jazz, offering a comprehensive view of the subject and containing edited pieces on the origins, history, culture and style of jazz, and also on myth, race and related areas of language, literature and film.

The collection provides a more extensive range and topic focus than any other similar anthology, complements histories of jazz and provides readings for students of music, jazz and American and popular culture. It will also appeal to the general reader who simply wants to learn more about the nature and world of jazz music.

ANDREW CLARK was formerly Principal Lecturer in English and American Studies at the University of Glamorgan in Wales, where he now teaches part time.

"The scope and diversity of the book are astonishing. It instantly finds a place as an invaluable research tool, but at the same time as a delicious field for fascinated browsing." - GENE LEES, Editor of Jazzletter
