By

an scholar approach full of wisdom and wit
very, very insightful and entertaining one of the few real serious investigations
4.0 out of 5 stars
historical piece of jazz history,
This review is from: The Story of Jazz (Galaxy Books) (Paperback)
A lovely book, a labour of love... Sometimes considered the first SERIOUS jazz history.
Too heavily leaning on sociological and ethnological insights though (I'm afraid not always supported by the more recent research), but it still makes for wonderful reading, essential for everyone who loves old and / or classical jazz... Contemporary reader beware, the book does show the signs of times!

A classic!,

Dr. Stearns's book still stands as a good source and has many clever insights. But Collier's "The Making of Jazz" clearly surpassed this book as the best history of Jazz.
