Making the Scene: Contemporary New York City Big Band Jazz
Alexander Stewart
Demonstrates the role of big bands in the development of jazz. This book explores the 'rehearsal band' scene in New York and the rise of repertory orchestras. It combines historical research, ethnography, and participant observation with musical analysis and ethnic studies, and attempts to dismantle stereotypical views of the big band.
