Description:

Dr. Porter has written essays to frame a generous selection of rare writings by various authors between 1919 and 1997 (and one from 1856). The new essays and historic reprints tackle some key questions: Where did the word "jazz" come from? How is it defined? Where did the music come from? How can it be analyzed? What did white and black writers in America, England, and France have to say about early jazz, and later about bebop, avant-garde, fusion, and the new traditionalism? What are the problems of race and drugs within the jazz field? This book draws the reader into the lively, evolving process that is jazz history.
