"An excellent study. A great help for my teaching . . ."--Reinhold Brinkmann, Harvard University "Excellent text! The depth and scope warrants an entire course of study on this era alone. It is a valuable tool for any jazz musician who performsm writes, or studies this style."--Stephen T. Goforth, Oklahoma City University "Schuller has the mind of a persistent and thorough scholar, and of a most careful and exacting musical analyst; of the most sensitive and responsive listener, and of the most musically knowledgeable and careful of critics....a monumental piece of work....As I say, this is a monumental achievement; it should be a basic text for anyone seriously interested in American music."--Martin Williams, merican Music "The ultimate jazz history."--The New Republic "A magisterial achievement, equally engrossing for musicologists, enthusiasts or the just plain curious....Schuller has given us a masterpiece and source of pure delight."--The Washington Post Book World, "A book of undeniable importance. No true student of the arts born of American civilization will be able to avoid opening [it] and seeking out the riches it has made available."--The New York Times Book Review, "A book of undeniable importance.

New York Review of Books'a magisterial achievement...a masterpiece and a source of pure joy' Washington Post Book World'A touchstone of jazz literature...The most thorough and authoritative study ever undertaken on the period.' Philadelphia Inquirer'Reading it is like listening to one of those hugely learned men with the gift of the gab, like Bronowski or A.J.P. Taylor, talking about his favourite subject. Every observation is backed by evidence, every generalisation judiciously qualified, every side-issue detailed in a footnote, but it is all done without a trace of pomposity. The real enjoyment in reading The Swing Era, as in reading Johnson's Lives of the Poets, comes from beingtaught more about something you love by an erudite, courteous and generous mind.'Dave Gelly, Jazz, Issue 12, "A walk down memory lane with an extraordinary guide, who traces the influences that shaped the playing of everone he mentions, often with musical notations transcribed from the records to illustrate his points. It's a scholarly work, but Schuller, a composer and conductor when he's notwriting books, has filled it with fascinating details that will keep the jazz lover turning pages from beginning to end."--Sunday Chicago Tribune, "A touchstone of jazz literature....The most thorough and authoritativestudy ever undertaken of the period."--The Philadelphia Inquirer, "Schuller has the mind of a persistent and thorough scholar, and of a most careful and exacting musical analyst; of the most sensitive and responsive listener, and of the most musically knowledgeable and careful of critics....a monumental piece of work.... As I say, this is a monumentalachievement; it should be a basic text for anyone seriously interested in American music."--Martin Williams, merican Music, "Unparalleled.... One of the most far-reaching musical studies of jazz; his astute criticism deepens our understanding not only of the period but of jazz itself."--Library Journal, "Excellent text! The depth and scope warrants an entire course of study on this era alone. It is a valuable tool for any jazz musician who performs, writes, or studies this style."--Stephen T.

Synopsis
Here is the book jazz lovers have eagerly awaited, the second volume of Gunther Schuller's monumental The History of Jazz. When the first volume, Early Jazz, appeared two decades ago, it immediately established itself as one of the seminal works on American music. Nat Hentoff called it "a remarkable breakthrough in musical analysis of jazz," and Frank Conroy, in The New York Times Book Review, praised it as "definitive.... A remarkable book by any standard...unparalleled in the literature of jazz." It has been universally recognized as the basic musical analysis of jazz from its beginnings until 1933. The Swing Era focuses on that extraordinary period in American musical history--1933 to 1945--when jazz was synonymous with America's popular music, its social dances and musical entertainment. The book's thorough scholarship, critical perceptions, and great love and respect for jazz puts this well-remembered era of American music into new and revealing perspective. It examines how the arrangements of Fletcher Henderson and Eddie Sauter--whom Schuller equates with Richard Strauss as "a master of harmonic modulation"--contributed to Benny Goodman's finest work...how Duke Ellington used the highly individualistic trombone trio of Joe "Tricky Sam" Nanton, Juan Tizol, and Lawrence Brown to enrich his elegant compositions...how Billie Holiday developed her horn-like instrumental approach to singing...and how the seminal compositions and arrangements of the long-forgotten John Nesbitt helped shape Swing Era styles through their influence on Gene Gifford and the famous Casa Loma Orchestra. Schuller also provides serious reappraisals of such often neglected jazz figures as Cab Calloway, Henry "Red" Allen, Horace Henderson, Pee Wee Russell, and Joe Mooney. Much of the book's focus is on the famous swing bands of the time, which were the essence of the Swing Era. There are the great black bands--Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Jimmie Lunceford, Earl Hines, Andy Kirk, and the often superb but little known "territory bands"--and popular white bands like Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsie, Artie Shaw, and Woody Herman, plus the first serious critical assessment of that most famous of Swing Era bandleaders, Glenn Miller. There are incisive portraits of the great musical soloists--such as Art Tatum, Teddy Wilson, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Bunny Berigan, and Jack Teagarden--and such singers as Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, and Helen Forest., Here is the book jazz lovers have eagerly awaited, the second volume of Gunther Schuller's monumental The History of Jazz .

There are incisive portraits of the great musical soloists--such as Art Tatum, Teddy Wilson, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Bunny Berigan, and Jack Teagarden--and such singers as Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, and Helen Forest., Taking up where Early Jazz (OPB, #6.95) leaves off, this second volume of Gunther Schuller's history of jazz considers the swing era - the age of dance bands and radio shows. Tracing the origins of swing and its effects on American musical and social life, he assesses the distinctive sounds of great bandleaders like Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and Woody Herman, instrumentalists such as Art Tatum, Cab Calloway, and Pee Wee Russell, and such vocalists as Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, and Peggy Lee.
