The first book to tell the full story of a century of jazz in New Orleans. Although there is still controversy over the racial origins and cultural sources of New Orleans jazz, Samuel Charters provides a balanced assessment of the role played by all of the city’s musical lineages - African American, white and Creole - in jazz’s formative years.
