Jazz in Short Measures

Derived from years of teaching in the classroom and online,
Dr. Lewis Rosengarten's Jazz in Short Measures offers
a refreshingly succint yet thorough presenation of
the struggles, styles and achievements in Jazz in a series
of ten essential lectures. The history of Jazz is recovered
from a variety of voices and perspectives providing an
exceedingly well-informed overview that would serve as
a perfect addition to any study or course. The author's
ability to synthesize an enormous amount of material
into an enjoyable coherent whole is uncanny.
