A low-resolution picture of my book, _Listen to Jazz!: Exploring a Musical Genre_ with a description: "Providing an introductory overview of jazz as both an American musical genre and a global creative exchange, _Listen to Jazz!_ explores the diversity of jazz's sounds, compositions, recordings, and styles. Surveying the sounds, concepts, performances, and production of jazz, this work includes A-to-Z entries on recent jazz musicians from around the world, jazz musicians and recordings that have been marginalized, and musicians, songs, and albums that have contributed to the defining aspects of specific jazz styles. Chapters on the impact of jazz on popular culture and its legacy, as well as a bibliography, enhance the historical and analytical content of the work." Publication dates, pages, ISBN, and series information follow.
Today, my book, _Listen to Jazz!: Exploring a Musical Genre_ is officially published!
