This is a quite useful book to get a grip on the conventional concepts about jazz history. If you are keen on Jazz and want to get the basic facts about some of the stuff, this might be a common-man's introduction to this culture.

Çok detaylı, yer yer bahsedilen müzik terimleri açıklanmoş, upuzun bir dinleme önerisi listesi içeriyor. Elinizin altında bulundurmak isteyeceğiniz bir eser. Fakat Türkçe çevirisi vasati bir vasatlıkta. Fransızca öğrenin.
