"Here is a book on jazz with a difference—not one more collection of anecdotes about people and places, but an introduction to jazz itself, to the actual music. Simply written, it tells about the chords, the rhythms, the melodies: how they have come about and how jazzmen use them." Avril Dankworth was a musical educator and sister to the musician Johnny Dankworth.
