It's a wonderful book to just sit back and luxuriate in reading, especially if you are a fan of jazz or just music in general.
Traditional New Orleans Jazz, in its own way, becomes part of the incredible legacy of teaching and innovation that ties the music to the men who make it. It's an important stewardship of the knowledge that has helped jazz become an international language that shows, perhaps, the very best of our own selves and culture.
Or, if you take away the giddy feeling this book left me upon completion, Traditional New Orleans Jazz is just one hell of a good read and is a lovely way to pass some of these sweltering summer days.
