Jazz Cavalcade: The Inside Story Of Jazz is a comprehensive book that delves into the history, development, and evolution of jazz music. Written by Dave Dexter Jr., a music critic and historian, the book offers a detailed account of the various styles, genres, and sub-genres of jazz, and the key figures who shaped its growth and popularity over the years.The book covers the early years of jazz, tracing its roots in African-American culture, and its emergence in New Orleans in the late 19th century. It then explores the various styles of jazz that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, including swing, bebop, and cool jazz, and the key artists who pioneered these styles, such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Charlie Parker.Jazz Cavalcade also covers the social and cultural context in which jazz developed, including the impact of racial segregation, the rise of the recording industry, and the changing tastes of audiences. The book also explores the international influence of jazz, and its impact on other musical genres, such as rock and roll, hip hop, and electronic music.Throughout the book, Dexter Jr. provides a wealth of anecdotes, insights, and behind-the-scenes stories about the jazz musicians and their music, making Jazz Cavalcade a fascinating and engaging read for anyone interested in the history of jazz.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
