4.0 out of 5 stars pleasent and diverse, July 3, 2001
By 
ashfaq ismail (lenasia south africa) - See all my reviews
In a pleasent & easy read, islam's diverse musical trends are are made apparent by jenkins presentation of a myriad of instruments in various islamic nations.Many of which are still preserved in their original form and served as prototypes for contemporary western instruments.Jenkins does a great service to islamic culture in bringing to the fore an aspect of a musical heritage which spawned and influenced many others, a heritage which because of many muslim stoics and is on its death bed. This is by no means a monumental or philosophical treatise on music but rather an enjoyable museum in print.
