Jazz - Then and Now

Dr. David Lee Fish - Hal Leonard Corporation
Starting with the origins of jazz, this book traces the genre's history as it evolved from ragtime in the clubs of New Orleans. Each of the book's 15 chapters covers an era in jazz history focusing on the people who shaped the music, from Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, and Jaco Pastorius to the greats of today like Wynton Marsalis, Joshua Redman, Pat Metheny, and more. Each chapter also includes a printed music example tracing the evolution of the music, offers suggested listening, and contains a brief list of historical events that helped shape the society in general (making this book a useful text for cross-curriculum study). Additional features include printed musical examples and suggested lessons; an included CD with examples; streaming audio examples at MusicAlive.com. By speaking to the student musician, veteran performer and educator David Lee Fish has created uncommon opportunities for music teachers to relate the work of jazz masters, their instruments, and their musical achievements to popular music and today's jazz styles.
