Description

The Annual Review of Jazz Studies is dedicated to scholarly research on jazz and its related musical forms. It recognizes the growing awareness of jazz as a cultural phenomenon. All volumes include numerous examples, a book review section, a portfolio of jazz photographs, and bibliographic surveys.

Continuing the rich tradition, this latest Annual is particularly impressive. The articles in this volume present important technical analyses of four major figures:
· Booker Little
· Charlie Christian
· Herbie Hancock
· Miles Davis

In addition to an extensive black and white photo gallery, there are seven book reviews that, collectively, span the history of the music.
