While not a totally comprehensive account, this book places the live concert in context with the broader story of popular music; its insider perspectives have an immediacy that will appeal to a broad swath of music fans.
Despite all that, a book inclusive enough to represent artists ranging from Loretta Lynn to Pink Floyd to The Clash does have merit. Recommended for larger libraries. ["Most of the author's oral histories are informative and entertaining. Recommended for libraries with a popular music section.": LJ 9/15/16 review of the Grove hc.]
A thoroughly compelling study of jazz music and the sociological and economic forces essential to the genre's development from 1942 to 1972. An essential volume for any jazz fan.
