5.0 out of 5 stars Bible for jazz and blues lovers, 12 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Anyone interested in the roots of jazz and blues will love this book. It's a travel guide to the regions where the music came from - a real bible for the music of America. It's really well written and the maps are outstanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a travel guide but an anthem to the music, 8 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This book has been so well researched - even the maps are brilliant! You get a real feel for the places he's talking about. He's been to the bars and venues and conveys such enthusiasm for the music that even a non-fan couldn't fail to be caught up in it. Atmospheric stuff & I can't wait to go.
