Jazz- A Century of Change
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I read "Jazz" by Lewis Porter for a class book review and found that if one is interested in knowing more about Jazz, its history, and those who perform jazz, this is a great book. It would be a difficult read if one was not already familiar with Jazz musicians and their popular works, as well as general music terminology. But, for an interesting read on the antics and opinions of jazz, this book is great. In doing research on the author, I have found that he has studied extensively Jazz musicians and teaches jazz history at Tufts Univeristy. Also, this book is used for mandatory text readings in many colleges and Universities across the US, which adds to the reliability and information that is found in Porter's book. Definately worth reading!
