Creating Jazz Counterpoint: New Orleans, Barbershop Harmony, and the Blues - American Made Music Series
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.
