The Essential W. Royal Stokes Jazz, Blues, and Beyond Reader

Résumé du livre

Drawn from his extensive archives and including some previously unpublished materials, The Essential W. Royal Stokes Jazz, Blues, and Beyond Reader provides a generous sampling of the author's journalism from his years as the Washington Post's jazz critic and across his four decades as a contributor to JazzTimes, DownBeat, and online forums. An autobiographical essay on his earlier academic career and the transcript of a two-hour talk about his jazz life round out the volume. More than 100 photographs enhance one's enjoyment of this splendid collection.
