About This Item
New York, NY Oxford University Press, 1989. Hardcover First Ed; First Printing indicated. First Ed; First Printing indicated. Near Fine in Near Fine DJ: Both book and DJ show only minute indications of use. Book shows just a hint of shelfwear along the bottom edge of the boards; else flawless; binding square and secure; text clean. DJ shows moderate rubbing; else without notable flaw; price unclipped. Overall, very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 404pp. Hardback with DJ. This is a great history on the evolution of the Big Bands. Of course it also describes Benny major role in this evolution and as the book itself evolves and the Swing era comes to a close it focuses much more on him and his later years. I learned much about obscure bands and the musicians and how the music progressed. I would highly recommend this book to new students of Jazz who want to understand it's early history.
