Human-narrated audio
Summary
Jazz from its beginnings through the early 1930s. Schuller explores sound recordings made since the advent of jazz and responds to hypothetical questions a musician might ask. He shows how elements of jazz grew out of African music, stresses the… shift of emphasis from the music to the performer, and notes the difficulty of studying something as ephemeral as improvised sounds. Followed by "Swing Era". 1986. (History of jazz ; 1)
