I've always loved jazz, but never really looked into it. After a recent trip to a Jazz concert, I decided to dive in deeper and found this at Waterstones.
What attracted me most to this book were the chapter playlists that demonstrate areas the author was trying to introduce in the chapter. From Ragtime to free-jazz, I found all but a couple of the tunes and made them into Spotify playlists named after the chapter.
I really enjoyed this book, which didn't go into too much technical detail without leaving anything crucial out. Highly recommended.
Fascinating story starting from the 40s and ending just before the "dot com crash". Although it may seem out of date, it's actually a very interesting story which only feels dated is some small parts.
