The first edition of "Jazz" took the history of jazz up to 1960. Now, in recognition of the developments in jazz study since then, Frank Tirro has rewritten and expanded this text to include many of the latter-day giants, such as Miles Davies, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman and Wynton Marsalis. The early chapters have also been modified to take into account recent research and revised insights, and hundreds of musical examples are cited. The bibliography and discography are selective and up-to-date.
