商品簡介
Parsonage (Leeds College of Music, UK) argues that jazz in Britain was more than a reflection of the genre in America and considers its own separate evolution in London from 1880 to 1935. She analyzes the music and culture of jazz through its roots in minstrelsy, transmission of sheet music, and early criticism in Britain in the 1920s and 30s. The second section presents case studies of In Dahomey, black banjo bands, visits made by American groups such as the Original Dixieland Jazz Band and the Southern Syncopated Orchestra, hot jazz, and performances at the Savoy Hotel and by Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. Portions of the book have been previously published elsewhere. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
