Jazz Crusade The Inside Story of the Great New Orleans Jazz Revival of the 1960'S/Includes Compact Disk

A unique publishing event. The first jazz book to include the music itself on a compact disc enveloped on the inside back cover. 60 full-page photos of jazz musicians. Complete discography & index. During the 1960s Civil Rights upheaval, a handful of jazz enthusiasts descended on New Orleans in a last ditch attempt to preserve a unique artform. The last few dozen jazz pioneers were playing their final choruses & the Jazz Crusade was born to record them & bring them one last chance at glory. The result was a worldwide revival of the earliest jazz style. Because of it, thousands of young musicians took up the music in America, Europe, & Japan. This is the incredible story of one of those young musicians & record producers who made it happen & the intimate bond he formed with those original black jazz players three generations his senior. The included compact disc contains 15 complete recordings from the period in sparkling digital sound. Dealer & distributor inquiries are welcome along with retail orders.
