A Trumpet around the Corner - The Story of New Orleans Jazz

Informationen zum Autor Samuel Charters (1929-2015) was an eminent historian of jazz and blues music and author of the award-winning The Roots of the Blues and numerous other titles. He was also a Grammy-winning record producer, musician, poet, and fiction writer and was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1994. Klappentext Charters breaks new ground with his discussion of the earliest New Orleans recordings up to the present and the renewed concern over the city's musical heritage, which is at great risk after the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina's floodwaters. Zusammenfassung Samuel Charters has been studying and writing about New Orleans music for more than fifty years. A Trumpet around the Corner is the first book to tell the entire story of a century of jazz in New Orleans. Charters provides a balanced assessment of the role played by all three of the city's musical lineages - African American! white! and Creole - in jazz's formative years.
