Mervyn Cooke

'Admirably deft and concise, while finding room for quirky asides'
– The Independent

Setting jazz in its social context, against a background of constant racial tension, the author looks at the individual talents who created this remarkable music, personalities such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday and Miles Davis. With striking illustrations and a useful glossary, this wide-ranging text provides a comprehensive introduction to the 20th-century’s most vibrant music.
