In spite of being from 1978, it still stands as the best book on Jazz history. Collier is balanced, was a musician himself and, last but not least, is an apt researcher.

Louis Armstrong: An American Genius

James Lincoln Collier

Oxford University Press, USA, 1985

The definitive Satchmo biography
Collier did a great job! His historiography is as brilliant as ever. It seems to me that the mainstream of Jazz so-called "scholars" don't like Collier because he's got no race bias and because of his impartiality. Actually, Mr. Collier is the best American writer on the subject, as he knows musical theory and is also a fine researcher.

James Lincoln Collier

School Specialty Publishing, 2004

A good lesson about The Great Depression & Capitalism
The Worst of Times - A Story of the Great Depression by James Lincoln Collier is very sad. I think that if you have a strong stomach you would be able to read this. Amazon.com recommended the book for readers age 9 to 12. I am 9. I didn't like all the gory deaths but it was very well written. I'd give it 3 stars. Even though it was very well written, it was so sad that I couldn't really enjoy ...

Outstanding for adults as well as kids
This book is so well-researched and perceptive that it transcends the genre of juvenile books. In fact, I plan to recommend it to senior citizens taking my music appreciation course in the Evolution of Jazz. Collier provides a good, brief, clear history of jazz, from its roots to free jazz and neo-bop. In addition, the final two chapters on rhythm and on improvising are unexpectedly learned ...
