Jan Bruér and Lars Westin's now classic book (the first edition came out already in 1974) about the history and development of jazz conveys in minimal space the maximum about a century-old musical form that is constantly challenged. Jazz has been declared dead several times but survived and developed, adopted new technology, was inspired by and mixed up with other forms of music.
Bruér and Westin look at the history of jazz from a Swedish perspective. The music is portrayed in context; the environments of jazz and the people behind the music are given a lot of space.
The book is richly illustrated with well-chosen photographs and period documents.
This is the fifth – revised and updated – edition of Jazz. Music People Environments.
The book can be used in higher music education as well as in study circles and self-study.
