The Ilustrated History of Jazz (New Edition) - Softcover 1979

Description: "The Ilustrated History of Jazz (New Edition)" by Brian Case & Stan Britt - Softcover (8-1/2" x 11-3/4") - Published in 1979 by Harmony Books - 224 pages (with over 150 great color and black & white photos and over 250 album covers) - EXCELLENT condition. This fabulous book features bios of over 400 jazz artists (see the scan of the back cover for the list of artists included in this encyclopedia of jazz), discographies for each of them (up to the publication date), and over 275 classic album covers in both color and black and white (this book was released before compact discs were available). The album covers are worth the price alone. Also included are many rare photographs of the giants of jazz. The book is a comprehensive who's who of a true American art form. The individual bios reflect the various stages of each musician’s development. This book is a great resource for the jazz album collector who haunts second hand record stores, thrift shops, and swap meets in the hopes of finding that jazz treasure. This jazz encyclopedia provides a wealth of information that mixes nicely the nostalgia of old school jazz recordings and those of modern jazz records. If jazz is your passion, you will definitely want this outstanding reference in your collection. There is some minor edge wear (see the scan), but this book is still in EXCELLENT condition. Check out the scan for the cover and so you can judge the condition for yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who post generic scans, the book in my scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving an item true to the condition indicated. You won't be disappointed. Don't get left out; this book is long out of print! No books on the history of jazz is complete without this one. All previous buyers of my music related books have been completely satisfied. I have many others available; please inquire. The book will be sent via media mail in the USA to minimize shipping costs. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items. See my auctions and my eBay store for a wide variety of sports and non-sports collectibles. All items are packed with care to insure safe delivery. Please contact me if you have any questions.11-29-21 -- 27.0
