The New Grove Gospel, Blues and Jazz: With Spirituals and Ragtime

William Bolcom; Paul Oliver

Synopsis:
Spirituals, Blues, Gospel, Ragtime, and Jazz are treated in this book in roughly chronological sequence. The chapters on these first three are by Paul Oliver, whose New Grove entry on the Blues is widely regarded as the definitive brief history of the genre. He has revised and expanded it for this book publication and, in addition, has extended the coverage of his essays on Spirituals in The New Grove to discuss both black and white traditions.
