Foreword by Joe Lovano
Universal Appeal: Jazz is a universal language transcending borders and cultures, thus publishing a book about its legends ensures appeal to music lovers around the world. Iconographic Quality: Each musician is portrayed in high-quality vintage pictures, making the book a visually appealing collectible, perfect for enthusiasts and professionals alike. Renowned Author: The text by a music journalism authority such as Bill Milkowski and the foreword by Grammy-winning saxophonist Joe Lovano make this book highly reliable in the music industry.

Jazz is probably America’s most important cultural contribution. It originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, Louisiana, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This classic book features a portrait gallery of 50 musical legends, from Jelly Roll Morton, who claimed to have invented the genre to contemporary saxophonist Joe Lovano, who also wrote the foreword. All the musicians are portrayed with striking vintage photos along with a brief but detailed biography.
