“The aim of this work is to allow the reader to reconstruct the history of the music that was to be called “jazz” in 1916, not in a linear way, but through portraits of some of the Louisianian originators of this music.
Each portrait supplies the names, exact dates of each protagonist of this history, also some elements about the social and political situation of the epoch, and is illustrated with photographs, un published maps and illustrations (some of them rare), as well as a discography (when the musician has recorded).
The Buddy Bolden chapter also studies the question of the formation of the new music at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries."
