Jazz & Blues The origins of Western popular music can often be traced back to the two strains of African-American music that developed towards the end of the nineteenth century - jazz, hot from the urban melting pot of New Orleans, and blues, from the desolate landscapes of Texas and the Mississippi Delta. The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Jazz & Blues explores the history and developments of jazz and blues, from New Orleans marching bands and the slave hollers of the Mississippi cotton fields to fusion jazz and modern-day electric blues heroes. Organised by decade, each chapter includes background information and discussion of how the music evolved during the period, while biographical sections explore the lives of important musical figures. The informative text is supported by hundreds of atmospheric photographs, painting a vivid picture of the people and places that have informed the development of jazz and blues music over the years. Written by a team of experts, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Jazz & Blues is an ideal reference volume for anyone with an interest in these two most influential and enduring of musical styles.

Do you want to know when Duke Ellington was king of The Cotton Club? Have you ever wondered how old Miles Davis was when he got his first trumpet? From birth dates to gig dates and from recordings to television specials, Leonard Feather and Ira Gitler have left no stone unturned in their quest for accurate, detailed information on the careers of 3.300 jazz musicians from around the world. We learn that Duke Ellington worked his magic at The Cotton Club from 1927 to 1931, and that on Miles Davis's thirteenth birthday, his father gave him his first trumpet. Jazz is fast moving, and this edition clearly and concisely maps out an often dizzying web of professional associations. We find, for instance, that when Miles Davis was a St. Louis teenager he encountered Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie for the first time. This meeting proved fateful, and by 1945 a nineteen-year-old Davis had left Juilliard to play with Parker on 52nd Street. Knowledge of these professional alliances, along with the countless others chronicled in this book, are central to tracing the development of significant jazz movements, such as the "cool jazz" that became one of Miles Davis's hallmarks. Arranged alphabetically according to last name, each entry of this book chronologically lists the highlights of every jazz musician's career. Highly accessible and vigorously researched, The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz is, quite simply, the most comprehensive jazz encyclopedia available.
