Industry Reviews
"Differing dramatically from the approach taken by Ken Burns in his popular PBS video, which viewed the evolution of the music as a progression from one genius to another...Giddins and DeVeaux place far more emphasis on the way socioeconomic and cultural factors affected the growth and development of jazz." (starred review)

"Simply and audaciously titled JAZZ' this 704-page monster is really more of a beginner's guide. The well-informed won't glean much from these pages. But the listener who has only dipped his toes in and would like to take a few swimming lessons - well, then, this is his book."

"[A] weighty, entertaining history....This isn't the only book on jazz a fan will want....But it's a sure first call."
