Synopsis

Equipping you with a true feel for the vibrant, ever-changing sound of jazz, the captivating JAZZ: THE FIRST 100 YEARS, ENHANCED MEDIA EDITION, 3e explores the development of jazz music from its nineteenth-century roots in blues and ragtime, through swing and bebop, to fusion and contemporary jazz styles. Biographies, social history, and timelines at the beginning of chapters put music into context, while insightful listening guides tie the history of jazz music directly to the downloadable selections. All-new interactive pre- and post-chapter quizzes help prepare you for upcoming topics as well as review what you have already learned. In addition, Audio Primer selections allow you to hear the key terms, basic music concepts, and jazz instruments discussed in the book. A printed access card with all of the music for the book comes with every copy of the printed text, and is also available via MindTap.
