Condition: Poor Condition — £26.27
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

From 1890 to 1990, from ragtime to postmodern jazz, THE JAZZ BOOK is the most encyclopedic, interpretive history of this musical world available in one volume. In this new, sixth edition of the book, each chapter has been completely revised and expanded to incorporate the dominant styles and musicians of the past decade, as well as the fruits of current research about earlier periods in the history of jazz. New chapters have also been added on David Murray and Wynton Marsalis, saxophone ensembles, keyboards, and the styles of the past decade: Classicism, Neoclassicism, World Music, Free Funk, and No Wave. With the tremendous resurgence of interest in jazz, THE JAZZ BOOK will continue to fill the need for information about an art form that is widely regarded as America's greatest contribution to the musical culture of the world.
