Its a good book to learn the history of Jazz and how modern music relates to it. I learned for instance, that Jazz can trace its linage to military brass bands from the Civil War. So it's literally a musical phenomena that has been going on for centuries.

But it is a tad boring at first for someone who is not particularly into music or already knows the history well.

In either case, its a good read and comes with its sound track of Jazz music.
