Book Description
Instantly acquire all the knowledge you need to pass as an expert in the world of jazz. Never again confuse your corn with your jam, your mouldy fig with your funky smelly, or your hep with your hip. Bask in the admiration of your fellow enthusiasts as you explain the difference between bebop and hard bop, and pronounce confidently about the provenance of the word jazz (and, indeed, boogie ). DO SAY One of the most pivotal moments in the evolution of jazz was when it went up the river from New Orleans to Chicago. DON T SAY Deaf Rhubarb Blenkinsop was arguably the most seminal figure in the history of British jazz. After Porridge Foot Pete, of course. DEFINITELY DON T SAY Don t give me that jive, hepcat. The Bluffer’s the 5-million-copy bestselling book series. These short, humorous guides contain all the facts you need to become an instant expert.
