Book Reviews of Free Jazz (The Roots of Jazz)
Book Review: Great analysis of a misunderstood genre
Summary: 5 Stars
This book serves as an excellent survey of free jazz in the 60's. Jost uses plenty of examples and a lots of objectivity to write a book that celebrates the many virtues of this multifaceted genre, while maintaining a realistic perspective. He doesn't hesitate, however, to criticize free musicians where it is due, giving his more frequent positive comments more weight. A must for any student of the avante-garde.
