History Today'Shipton'S Done His Homework, And He Knows How To Tell A Story.' Blenderin This Major Update Of The Acclaimed And Awardwinning Jazz History, Alyn Shipton Challenges Many Of The Assumptions That Surround The Birth And Growth Of Jazz Music.

There Are Also Important New Sections On Latin Jazz And The Repertory Movement.
