The story of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band

2 reviews
Harry O Brunn

Louisiana State University Press, 1960

The ODJB Story Needed to be Told
As Mr. Barnes indicated in his earlier review, it's unfortunate that Nick La Rocca's bias minimizes or even negates the African-American/Creole contributions to jazz, but many other historians, including Ed Burns, are inclined to play down the white musicians' role in jazz development. Harry Brunn's book,which I own in both editions, makes use of some sources which parallel stories that my ...

Hal Leonard Corporation, 1998

Fun Book!
I picked up the trumpet again after a 25 year layoff, and grabbed this book just for some fun stuff to play. The arrangements are fairly easy, and not too taxing on your range -I think the highest note I saw was a 'B'. The CD is better then I thought it would be, and is fun to play along with. It has sections written in where you're given the opportunity to improv. If you just want some fun tunes ...

Jan Scobey

Pal Pub, 1976

The Best Book There Is About One of The Best Trumpters Ever!
The book is a moving biography of the early days of jazz and the legend of Bob Scobey. From his early days and through his career with Yerba Buena Jazz Band and on into his solo career you find moving details and commentaries by some of the great jazz musicians from that era. Jan Scobey has put together one of the greatest books I've ever read about a Jazz musician and the era he rambled. If ...

The Story of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band

H.O. Brunn

Sidgwick and Jackson, 1961

The ODJB Story Needs to be Told
I quite agree with the reviewer of the second 1977 edition that Nick LaRocca's bias against African-American and Creole influences on classic jazz is unfortunate, but there are so many sketches which minimize the white contributions that it's refreshing to hear another story. Ed Burns, for example, seems to limit the origins of jazz to the black community, spirituals, work songs, and Buddy ...

Bill Russell's American Music

1 review

Jazzology Press, 1993

Historic New Orleans Jazz
Bill Russell (1905 - 1992) was one of the first people to seriously research the history of New Orleans jazz. He was a co-author of the important 1939 "Jazzmen" book, influential in the re-discovery of Bunk Johnson, and the posthumous author of "Oh Mr. Jelly: A Jelly Rol Morton Scrapbook". He also founded American Music, an independent recording company which recorded and issued a series of ...

Clay Travis

Harper Paperbacks, 2007

The funniest sports book I ever read
I'm always searching through Amazon looking for the latest sports book. I bought this one based on some solid reviews I had read for it. I wasn't prepared for how much this book made me laugh. One time, I had to put the book down and walk away from because I couldn't control how hard I was laughing (one of those where you have trouble catching your breath). You can't have thin skin and read ...

The Definitive Dixieland Collection (Definitive Collections)

Hal Leonard Corporation, 1993

A Musical Journey Back in Time
This collection of one of the earliest forms of jazz provides some ancient tunes that nevertheless keep people's feet moving decades later. Many of the 73 tunes will be familiar to those who have spent even a second in New Orleans. Scattered throughout are also some venerable blues. Anyone looking for the written notes of some of the songs featured in Ken Burns' "Jazz" can find many here, ...

Downtown Press, 2005

Bi-Racial in the South
Jen Taylor lives in Dixieland Arkasas-the product of a Japanese American mother and a European-American father. This leads Jen to some interesting dilemas as some people assume that she is Latin American or when people find out her middle name (Nakamura) they make fun of it. Jen spent much of her childhood in love with-and trying to win Kevin Peterson-to no avail. Later Jen, who is a T.V. ...

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

2 reviews
William E. Bissonnette

Special Request Books &, 1992

Some interesting stuff, but not for me.
Unfortunately, I found this book had as much to do with Bill Bissonnette as it had to do with the revival, and it almost could have been titled "The Bill Bissonnette Story." Readers should also note that Jazz Crusade is also the name of Bissonnette's own record production company and that the book appears to be published by a "vanity press" of sorts: Special Request Books. With that said, ...
