About

A Jazz History (1927-1934) by Allen Lowe.

From Allen Lowe, the Writer/Producer of the international best seller Minstrel to Mojo: An Audio History of American Popular Song, 1893-1946, comes this new epic survey of jazz. Volume 2 (of 4) 1927-1934, includes rare recordings by Bix Beiderbeck, Paul Whiteman, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Jimmy Dorsey, Fletcher Henderson, Django Reinhardt, Art Tatum, and others, in state of the art transfers with a 104-page lavishly illustrated booklet by Allen Lowe.

“What comes through most strongly is the breadth and accuracy of both Lowe’s knowledge and his taste… There’s nothing…like Lowe’s CD compilations, providing an extraordinary portrait of the forces and variables in American music in the first half of the twentieth century.” — Stuart Broomer, Signal and Noise

“This is one of the richest collections…. The period was a jumble of music, as jazz was just beginning to declare itself forcefully and define itself in terms of repertoire and instrumentation.” — Michael Ullman, Fanfare
