## Description

The Art of Jazz: A Visual History [Shipton, Alyn, Hasse, John] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Art of Jazz: A Visual History

Review: JAZZ GRAPHICS FROM THE LATE 19TH CENTURY INTO THE 21ST CENTURY, PLUS INFORMATIVE TEXT/CAPTIONS. - A beautiful book, well made (nice binding and thick cover boards), that's stuffed with visuals from across the jazz spectrum from early days to more contemporary graphics--from sheet music, jazz club ads, movies, concerts, and other types of art. The text is also informative and useful for jazz fans wanting to know more about how jazz influenced art. The reproductions are nicely done--crisp and colorful. From the first chapter "Jazz Begins", to the final chapter "Twenty-First Century Jazz", this book has a good cross-section of the changing art in jazz advertising and artwork influenced by jazz, from the beginnings of jazz up to the present century. Also here are period photos most in b&w of various bands and performers along with color art from other areas from various periods. The book is weighted towards the visual side, but the text is always informative and interesting. Included is a section for end notes, a bibliography, and an index which can be helpful. There have been other books dedicated to the history of jazz advertisements and artwork, many of them focusing on album artwork. This book too has a number of album covers (examples--"Swing '35-'39" by The Quintet of the Hot Club of France, to artist David Stone Martin's work, to Blue Note Records, into jazz fusion, the ECM label, to 21st Century jazz) that fit well with the other graphics from whatever period in jazz being shown. But if you're a deep jazz fan (like me) and can't seem to get enough of looking at jazz graphics of many types--especially laid out historically, you owe it to yourself to check this book out. Great reproductions, great text and captions--all in a well made book. Yes.
Review: The Art of Jazz - The Kindle edition is formatted so well-if you have a Fire, many illustrations are in color. Shipton supplies excellent historical commentary but the graphics take center stage. Quite well done-I have so many badly formatted Kindle editions but this is both a pleasure to read and look at!
