«Warum Jazz?: 111 gute Gründe» is Kevin Whitehead's music popularisation essay, published by Reclam Philipp Jun. in paperback (209 pages, in German).
American critic and DJ Kevin Whitehead brings together 111 good reasons to approach jazz. He combines explanations of harmony —blue notes, altered chords, the two-five-one progression— with works such as «Giant Steps» or «A Love Supreme», and reaches as far as «Smells Like Teen Spirit» to trace its influence on rock.
The work belongs to the Reclam Taschenbuch collection (number 20359) and includes the translation by Michael Müller.
It is aimed at jazz enthusiasts with a grasp of harmony and musical vocabulary, as it presupposes concepts such as chords, choruses or phrases.
