Detailed historical writing on many key musicians in early New Orleans jazz. Many you may never have heard of, but each played their part. Good information on Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll Morton and others that made up the core of what became dixieland jazz and the foundation of almost all jazz.

Fantastic snapshot of a wonderful musical era. Love the Monk stories.
