Setting jazz in its social and political context, the author looks at the individual talents who shaped this remarkable music, personalities as diverse as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Benny Goodman, and Miles Davis. With striking illustrations and a useful glossary, the wide-ranging text provides a thoughtful and comprehensive introduction to the twentieth century's most vibrant music.
