Shaping jazz : cities, labels, and the global emergence of an art form /
Phillips, Damon J.,
Shaping jazz : cities, labels, and the global emergence of an art form / Damon Phillips. - 272 pages ; 25 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
There are over a million jazz recordings, but only a few hundred tunes have been recorded repeatedly. Why did a minority of songs become jazz standards? Why do some songs - and not others - get rerecorded by many musicians? 'Shaping Jazz' answers this question and more, exploring the underappreciated yet crucial roles played by initial production and markets - in particular, organisations and geography - in the development of early 20th-century jazz.
