Description

For undergraduate courses in Jazz History, Jazz Survey, Evolution of Jazz, Introduction to Jazz, and Jazz Appreciation.

America’s most widely used introduction to jazz, it teaches the chronology of jazz by showing students how to listen and what to notice in each style. Though originally conceived for nonmusicians and written at a college freshmen reading level, Jazz Styles also has been widely adopted in courses for musicians because of its point-by-point specification of each style’s musical characteristics and its technical appendix. The text helps students hear how the styles differ and why the top names are important.

Features

Retains coverage of history by charts—Listing major players in each style with silhouettes of the instruments they play.

Continues solid musical description for each historic style and exemplars—Early jazz, swing, bop, cool, hard bop, free jazz, fusion, smooth jazz, acid jazz, etc.

Respectful coverage of women vocalists within five different eras—African American vocal techniques (Origins of Jazz), vocal blues and Bessie Smith (Early Jazz), Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald (swing), Sarah Vaughan (bop), Betty Carter (1980-2005 chapter)

High interest listening guides—With solo-by-solo access via individual track numbers.
