Book Reviews of The History of Jazz
Book Review: Superb
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely first rate. The depth and breadth of research is awesome--not just on the musicians but the conditions and times. Gioia writes beautifully and perceptively. If I were going to write a book on jazz (no need, now!) this would be the book I would have wanted to write. Six stars.Book Review: Great survey of the history of jazz!
Summary: 5 Stars
Gioia's "The History of Jazz" is the best one volume history of jazz I've read. It gives plenty of detail while moving along from era to era. I'd greatly recommend it to anyone wishing to survey the major developments, composers and performers or America's original musical art form.Book Review: Amazing Read
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are interested in the history of Jazz this one is for you. It is written really well and keeping my attention at every moment.
It might not be a really scientific book but it lets you get close to geniuses behind the music. Absolutley recommended.
Book Review: Very Thorough
Summary: 5 Stars
This book seems to be a thorough tale through the south east of playing seemingly non-sensical patterns to the current popular view of Jazz as it is played today, in verious forms. I am excited to read more of the book and learn more about Jazz' roots.Book Review: Learn about the real Jazz!
Summary: 5 Stars
I would highly recommend this book to all Jazz lovers and those who want to learn.
