Born and raised in New Orleans, Charles Suhor draws upon his many years of experience and a wealth of friendships as a musician in this famous jazz community to present a fascinating and informative history of New Orleans jazz ranging from the postwar years down through the decade of the 70s. Jazz In New Orleans focuses on three main themes: jazz and the establishment; the traditional revival in jazz; and the mostly invisible early bebop and avant-garde movements. Suhor's essays and commentaries are as authoritative as they are insightful. Jazz In New Orleans is enthusiastically recommended reading for all students of American music in general, and the history of jazz in particular.
