Creating Jazz Counterpoint by Vic Hobson
Offers a look at the blues roots of the New Orleans Jazz sound. This book describes in both historical and musical terms how the practices of quartet singing were converted to the instruments of a jazz band, and how this, in turn, produced collectively improvised, blues-inflected jazz, that unique sound of New Orleans.-
