When it was first published in 1970, this lively and fascinating book was greeted with almost universal acclaim. The American Record Guide called it 'the best one-volume of jazz we have,' and the Jazz Journal praised it as 'a brilliant study of the whole of jazz.' Perhaps the greatest tribute was paid by Louis Armstrong himself who raved: 'it held Ol' Satch spellbound.' Now thoroughly revised and expanded, the new edition of The Jazz Tradition offers readers a unique history of jazz, as seen through its greatest practitioners. Book No: 46516
