The First Book of Jazz

 Charlotte is my music lover, playing piano, trumpet and teaching herself the guitar.  And she loves Jazz!  We often listen to old jazz records or cds, though I am hardly a connoisseur and not all that knowledgeable.  I just know that Jazz is a lot of fun!

This book by Langston Hughes is a great introduction, giving the history and information about jazz and some of it's most famous musicians.  And those midcentury angular illustrations can't be beat!
