Jazz

by Geoffrey C. Ward
Dakota County Library audioCDs
read by LeVar Burton
genre: non-fiction, music history

This was fascinating, but I didn't finish it. I've been feeling overwhelmed and needing to pare down the "stuff" in my life. As an audiobook, I was somehow expecting more samples of the music being described in the text. There were so many names I didn't recognize. It's interesting to learn how many different people claimed to have created jazz as an art form! I'd like to read the full book sometime. I can borrow it from Scott Prescott, I'm sure.
