This work is intended for those who wish to approach the historical reality of classical jazz in a reliable and precise way. The author places the main protagonists of classical jazz on the map, both the consecrated and the secondary, in a rigorous and entertaining way. It covers from the ragtime of Scout Joplin and James Scout, to the blues of Robert Johnson, Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong, through the swing era of the great orchestras of Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman, and ending in the great soloists such as Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young and Lionel Hampton. Includes bibliographical references and discographies.
