A must for the novice jazz fan and aficionado alike, in this highly original work Humphrey Lyttleton, a noted authority, goes right back to the roots of Jazz, discussing key figures from the early New Orleans and Chicago scenes and beyond, highlighting key figures, unique styles and the greatest recordings through a thirty year period that defined Jazz music. The inimitable Humph provides plenty of lively historical background and tells insightful anecdotes often taken from the reminiscences of the musicians involved. 'The Best of Jazz', a compendium of two original works on the subject, is split into analysis of distinct eras pre- and post-1931 - ''Basin Street to Harlem'', and ''Enter The Giants'', moving from the ground-breaking early Jazz bands to the rise of revolutionary individual musicians. It is an ideal companion work to 'It Just Occurred to Me' (ISBN: 9781905798179) - Humph's earlier, much-loved book of reminiscences and thoughts on his life and career.

Artists discussed in the book include Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Bix Beiderbecke, Bessie Smith, Coleman Hawkins, Art Tatum, Billie Holliday and many others.

Lightweight and practical for carrying just the essentials
Size: One Size Fits Most, Color: (001) Black / / White
This waist bag is super practical and lightweight, perfect for days when I don’t want to carry a full purse. The fabric feels sturdy and the zipper works smoothly, nothing cheap or flimsy. It actually fits more than it looks phone, keys, lip balm, small wallet all organized without feeling bulky. The strap adjusts well and stays in place, and it’s comfortable to wear crossbody or around the waist. It’s definitely more for essentials than for carrying a lot, but for quick errands, walks, gym or travel it’s perfect. Clean design, good quality, and easy to match with any outfit.

Great Bag
Size: One Size Fits Most, Color: (025) Castlerock / Black / Black
Plenty of space even for my book on the plane. No more need for a personal item. I will say that I made the mistake of hanging my hands on the belt bag and tweaked the muscles in my neck from that. Great durable back though. I paid around $20-25
