Modern Jazz Classics

Modern Jazz Classics is intended to provide the reader an in-depth, yet concise, purview into the musical life of significant contributors to the modern jazz era. Certainly not every artist or composition is reflected in this highly discriminating book. What is displayed is considered to be the "best of the best" of the incomparable era of modern jazz. "Modern Jazz Classics, by jazz collector and historian K Kelly McElroy, is an essential book for anyone who wants a quick and knowledgeable reference to find the 'best of the best' of modern jazz artists and compositions. Amazingly concise and thorough at the same time, Modern Jazz Classics is a wonderful addition to the library for those newly initiated to modern jazz and the jazz buffs alike." C.E.
