Dixieland: The Birth of Jazz (The Life, Times and Music Series, book & cd set)

By Judith Pasternak

Around the turn of the century, a new kind of music began to be heard--the improvisational blending of spirituals, country blues, French marches, and ragtime that we know as jazz. New Orleans was its birthplace, and the name "Dixieland" reflects its southern origins. Includes full-color book.
