The Guardian and Observer newspapers have covered jazz in all its shapes and forms for almost a century. Jazz From New Orleans to the new generation is a collection of reviews and profiles that charts the development of the music from its first appearance in London in 1917 right through to latter day arguments over fusion. Contributors including Kingsley Amis, Benny Green, Michael Frayn and John Fordham provide a uniquely British perspective on the history of jazz that features all the top names, from Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis to Robert Glasper.
Jazz From New Orleans to the new generation Guardian Shorts Book 7 edition by The Guardian Richard Nelsson Arts Photography eBooks
This is a collection reviews of jazz concerts and records that appeared in the Guardian newspaper from 1925 until 2011. It makes a good read, and illustrates the increasing acceptance of jazz, or as it was initially called 'syncopated music'. I found Benny Green's reviews from the early 1960's particularly interesting; he makes his distaste for the Modern Jazz Quartet and for Ornette Coleman very plain, and really I think didn't like Miles Davis much either. But when in early 1960 he reviews 'Kind of Blue' he gets straight to the heart of the matter. I'm not sure that he actually liked the album, but his appreciation of it comes though very clearly. A fine example of the reviewer putting his own taste aside and reporting what he finds.If you like jazz I think you'll like this book.
