This is an excellent companion book to the Ken Burns Jazz PBS series. So much was covered in each episode that it is easy to miss some detail. Also, it includes many excellent historic photos I have not seen elsewhere.

It is the best 'history of Jazz' book that I have ever read. Beautifully printed and great articles throughout.

Incredible amount of detail, from the beginnings of jazz to the newest sounds. This is one big (heavy) book, with hundreds and hundreds of unique photos, and info available nowhere else. It's an education in itself; should be worth 6 CEUs!
