Editorial Review: Product Description: For undergraduate courses in Jazz History, Jazz Survey, Evolution of Jazz, Introduction to Jazz, and Jazz Appreciation. America's most widely used introduction to jazz, it teaches the chronology of jazz by showing students how to listen and what to notice in each style. Though originally conceived for nonmusicians and written at a college freshmen reading level, Jazz Styles also has been widely adopted in courses for musicians because of its point-by-point specification of each style's musical characteristics and its technical appendix. The text helps students hear how the styles differ and why the top names are important. The book's listening guides offer in-depth analysis for 38 historic recordings contained on the 2CD Jazz Classics collection. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - BUYER BEWARE:THIS BOOK DOES NOT COME WITH THE JAZZ KITI have not even began reading this book and I am highly disappointed. I ordered it on Amazon because prices are always better here than the on campus bookstore but it turnes out the textbook doesn't come with the required Jazz kit that the description implies it does!!!!!!! Rating:  - Jazz Styles History and Analysis 10th EditionAmazon advertises this book in their editorial review as having "accompanying cd's". I did not get with my book and they dropped the book price by $5.00 this week. Now I have to track down just the cd's that are suppose to be included as advertised!!!! Rating:  - Does not come with the CDThis book is not supposed yo come with the CD. The CD'S are listed with separate ISBN numbers. I even returned this book to Amazon thinking I never received the CD'S and Amazon sent me a new copy, I guess even they did not know that it does not come with CDs. If you want the CDs then the ISBN number is 0136005616. Rating:  - Amazon ripped me offThis book was received WITHOUT the 2 disks which were to be included. The text refers frequently to the tracks on the 2 CDs which the text states WERE packaged with the book & included in the price. Thanks a bunch for nothing! Since this book is to be used in a college class, I'm really out of luck! Rating:  - That it is a 7th edition says it allJazz styles: History & analysis. Instructor's resource manualThis book is about "Classical Jazz" and it's history. It is a good text and reference, but is somewhat dated in an age where hip hop and rap have replaced rock in the hearts of the many of the younger generation. Music tends to move on and the scholars only realize it a generation down the line and write about it then. This was in 1978 a revolutionary type of music text book: has become a standard, but has even with updated become a "classic". Mostly this gap has happened because we are living in a computer age of iPods and mp3's. Electronic jazz is here. |
