Description
A useful history of jazz that was once considered definitive but has since been supplanted. This is a very good copy of the First Edition in a dust jacket that is lightly creased, with fractional loss along lower spine edge and a closed tear on the front face that has been internally reinforced with tape. Contents fine, with browning to page edges.
