This
is a guide to the people, the terminology and the hundred-year history
of one of the few truly global musical movements. Follow jazz from its
birth in the deep South through its early move into the cities, and on
to the great era of Louis Armstrong and King Oliver. Track its tricky
history after the Beiderbecke years: Big Bands, Swing, Boogie-Woogie,
Bop, Cool, Modal Free, Improv - it's no wonder you need a crash course.
Just keeping up with the many faces of Miles Davis is a challenge in itself.
To find out what's cool (or possibly hot), enquire within.
