ChronoGroove: The River of JazzChronoGroove dives into the hidden pulse beneath the world's most restless music - a river that began before any horn sounded and has never stopped moving. Told with sharp edges and poetic heat, this book follows the music's evolution as a living current: rising from silence, catching fire in the Crescent City, roaring through ballrooms that doubled as civic temples, and fracturing into the fierce new language that reshaped the meaning of freedom. The journey moves through the blaze of early improvisers, the architectural sweep of the swing era, the revolutionary spark of bebop, the cool reflections that rewrote the atmosphere, the electric storms that cracked tradition apart, and the global awakening that carried the pulse across continents. Each chapter reveals jazz not as entertainment, but as a force - born of survival, sharpened by resistance, expanded through imagination. The river pushes forward, bends, breaks, reforms, and refuses to settle. Bold, lean, and alive with rhythm, ChronoGroove invites you to step into a story carved in sound and struggle, a timeline that moves like music itself. The river is rising. Follow its course.
