Uptown, downtown. Big bands to subway soloists. Elegant clubs with big-name headliners to funky basements where the bands play all night. This guide reveals more than 60 venues where you can hear the best of every kind of jazz -- Latin, avant-garde, New Orleans-style, or hard bop -- in the city renowned for the music. Festivals, music stores, poetry sessions, & gospel brunches are also featured, along with jazz lore: Visits to the heyday of Harlem & 52nd St., the famous Bridge where Sonny Rollins moonlighted, & the neighborhood Louis Armstrong called home. With a strong sense of history & a nose for details, this book provides a neighborhood-by-neighborhood analysis of relevant venues, jam sessions, & speakeasies. Photos.
