By A Customer

This review is from: From Cakewalks to Concert Halls: An Illustrated History of African American Popular Music from 1895 to 1930 (Paperback)

An amazing resource. Morgan has forgotten more than most people will ever know about the history of jazz. Spectacular work!

3.0 out of 5 stars SO-SO, February 12, 2001

By	Drew (Orlando, FLA USA) - See all my reviews

I think that this book provided me with great knowledge about African American music in the early years. It went into great depth and was easy to read. Great for research papers.
