This introductory text, an abridged version of Jazz Styles, teaches students to appreciate jazz with its in-depth listening guides, CD's with historic recordings of jazz, and a Demonstration CD illustrating instrument sounds and how musicians make jazz.

Concise Guide to Jazz was developed in response to student and professor requests for an introductory text offering the clarity and accuracy of Jazz Styles with 1/2 the size, 1/40 the number of names and tune titles, and 1/3 the number of musician profiles, in just 11 chapters. Written by an active jazz musician and jazz historian, this brief introduction examines how jazz originated, how it is made, what to listen for, the major style eras, and the individual styles of 49 historically significant jazz musicians.
