It was a quite different kind of music, creating a whole new way of looking at the world, which was soon to spread across the globe. Artist Robert Nippoldt and jazz expert Hans-Jurgen Schaal tell the stories of 24 of the top jazz musicians working in New York in the Roaring Twenties. The book is an enthralling blend of fascinating hand-drawn images, meticulously researched facts, and amusing anecdotes. And with the accompanying CD of original recordings, it is a feast for the ears as well as the eyes!
