Continuing in the tradition of their critically acclaimed works, Geoffrey C. Ward and Ken Burns vividly bring to life the story of the quintessential American music - JAZZ. Born in the black community of turn-of-the-century New Orleans but played from the beginning by musicians of every color, jazz celebrates all Americans at their best.
Visually stunning, with more than five hundred photographs, some never before published, this book, like the music it chronicles, is an exploration- and a celebration - of the American experiment.
Published by Alfred A. Knopf, this 2005 hardback edition is in excellent condition. This would make a great gift or a wonderful coffee table book.
