Description: Washington, DC, Jazz by Dr Regennia N. Williams, Rev Dr Sandra Butler-Truesdale Washington, DC, Jazz focuses, primarily, on the history of straight-ahead jazz, using oral histories, materials from the William P. Gottlieb Collection at the Library of Congress, the Felix E. Grant Jazz Archives at the University of the District of Columbia, and Smithsonian Jazz. Home to "Black Broadway" and the Howard Theatre in the Greater U Street area, Washington, DC, has long been associated with American jazz. Duke Ellington and Billy Eckstine launched their careers there in the early 20th century. Decades later, Shirley Horn and Buck Hill would follow their leads, and DCs "jazz millennials" include graduates of the Duke Ellington School of the Arts. For years, Bohemian Caverns and One Step Down were among the clubs serving as gathering places for producers and consumers of jazz, even as Rusty Hassan and other programmers used radio to promote the music. This volume also features the work of photographers Nathaniel Rhodes, Michael Wilderman, and Lawrence A. Randall. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Review Quote "Within the photo-heavy Arcadia format, the authors have put together an eminently browsable book that will keep readers checking YouTube and Spotify -- or perhaps their own record collection. Each chapter includes vintage photos mixed with portraits of younger musicians working in the DC area, and only the most dedicated local jazz fans will be familiar with all of them."
