This volume presents a study of jazz from its roots through the beginning of free jazz and jazz-rock fusion to the trends of the present day, including the new swing revival. Emphasizing listening skills, this volume is written in a clear, personal, informal style, and requires no prior knowledge or experience in music. The author introduces musical terms and concepts as needed, and always in connection with specific recordings and jazz artists. His principal focus is to guide the beginning listener's ear rather than stress the rote memorization of names, styles, periods, titles, dates, and other facts. The book focuses on listening to specific performers and recordings and makes access to recordings easier and less expensive by using virtually all the selections from the Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz. The rest of the almost 200 selections discussed in the book come from other Smithsonian anthologies or from widely available classic jazz performances. In addition to these specific discussions, the book follows a historical organization by offering a brief orientation to each of the five main sections as background to understanding the music of that period. Third edition highlights: Includes additional material covering musical styles of the last decade of jazz's first century; features broader coverage of many artists included in earlier editions; deals with recent trends, including discussions of Wynton Marsalis, the Mingus Big Band, the new swing revival and the Brian Setzer Orchestra, and a brief discussion of jazz on film.

Lester Young, the legendary tenor sax player known as Pres, created earth-shattering music for nearly 25 years. Now for the first time, the many Presophiles around the globe and kindred jazz aficionados will have access to a complete guide to Young's recorded legacy in this exhaustive discography. This companion volume to Buchmann-Moller's You Just Fight for Your Life, the longest and most accurate biography of Young's life to date, details 251 recording sessions. Listed chronologically, each session has its own introduction that contains title, personnel, date and place of recording, record label, discographical information with matrix numbers, the number of the newest or most complete release of the actual session, and, where applicable, whether recording is from concert, radio, or TV. The solography lists every solo played by Young, published or unpublished, and contains some newly discovered items including critical assessments of the solos, in many cases illustrated by the author's own transcriptions of the improvisations. Each solo analysis contains song title, form, and the number of takes followed by a listing of the personnel and individual soloists. Included here are notations for over 80 great Young solos and excerpts for many more written for a B flat instrument so that musicians can play along with their Lester Young recordings. Access to musicians and song titles is facilitated by a song index and a name index that keys items to the numbered sessions, and an index of the transcribed solos refer to the page(s) where the solos are to be found. Musicians, fans, students, and scholars of music and jazz, as well as the general reader with an interest in jazz will find You Got to be Original, Man! with its complete solography and companion biography, You Just Fight for Your Life to be the most comprehensive introduction of the man and his music available.

Observers of American society have long noted the distinctive contribution of African Americans to the nation's cultural life. We find references to African American music and dance, black forms of oral expression, even a black style of playing basketball. But what do such terms really mean? Is it legitimate to talk about a distinct African American aesthetic, or is it simply a vestige of an outmoded racial essentialism? What makes a particular form of cultural expression black, other than the fact that some African Americans may practice it?
