Printed books continue to be the most reliable source of Jazz information, and Dan Morgenstern's THE JAZZ STORY is a touchstone example of a brief yet accurate Jazz volume. The original 30 page pamphlet was published in 1973 to celebrate the opening of the NY Jazz Museum. We offer here, however, a much rarer 2nd edition from 1989 with updated information. If you want a concise history of Jazz from its dawn through the 1980s, this booklet by former Down Beat editor Dan Morgenstern is the way to go! The chapters flow chronologically from The Roots to The Creole Jazz Band to The King of Swing, The Bebop Revolution, Modal Jazz, "Free" Jazz, and more. Also included are lists of Recommended Records and Books. The Jazz Story has plenty of interest for both seasoned listeners and newcomers to Jazz!

1989 2nd edition. We only have ONE!!
