A New History of Jazz (2nd edition 2006)
Author(s): Alyn Shipton
Aiming to challenge many of the assumptions that surround the birth and growth of jazz music, this book re-evaluates the transition from swing to be-bop, asking just how political this supposed modern jazz revolution actually was. It also includes names as John Medeski, Diana Krall, Django Bates, and Matthias Ruegg.
