Merchant's Category: Media> Books
The Encyclopedia of Jazz & Blues introduces you to the innovators and performers of these two great musical styles. Every musical genre has been touched by or has turned to the blues for inspiration and innovation, and in the process the blues has evolved, introducing fresh sounds to a musical style steeped in tradition. Jazz has always been different things to different people: swing, be-bop, fusion, traditional, ragtime, and dixie. Through the lives of the unforgettable performers, composers, and arrangers, we cognise their genius and applaud their dedication. With fascinating biographical information and analysis of each musician's technique and contribution to the music, this is the ultimate hall of fame. * Provides key information and analysis of the lives and musical output of the greatest jazz and blues performers of the last 100 years. * Features stunning images of all the featured artists, evoking the special atmosphere associated with these musical styles. * Presents special features on outstanding jazz and blues alumni, and gives recommendations of each artist's best work. * Includes information on the well-known, as well as the more obscure artists of each genre, making this a comprehensive guide to jazz and blues.
