Críticas:

'This comprehensive book, with its wealth of information presented in a nontechnical style accessible to the general reader, is a major contribution to the literature of jazz.' Publishers Weekly 'A New History of Jazz is particularly sharp in describing jazz's earliest roots. Shipton's done his homework, and he knows how to tell a story.' Blender Magazine "A New History of Jazz ranks as one of the most important examinations of the music released during the past decade... Shipton takes an analytical approach that frequently claims new territory. [An] important new overview."--The Dallas Morning News 'Respected jazz broadcaster and author Alyn Shipton has taken on the big one here and come up trumps.... Shipton is unhampered by overt stylistic prejudice, resulting in a likeable read that wears its expertise with the grace of the truly wise. More trustworthy and less sentimental than many similar efforts...it achieves something approaching an essential text.' Mojo 'A veritable cathedral of documentation, stories and anecdotes about the musicians and characters who have created what has often been described as America's true native art form.' Financial Times

Reseña del editor:

Alyn Shipton examines material from the string bands and francophone vocal ensembles of the plantation to the highly developed and sophisticated world of turn-of-the-century African American Theatre. He continues with the major trends in jazz during the last 30 years of the 20th century.
