<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Discover how Jazz shaped the history and enhanced the life of the citizens of New Orleans.</b></p><br><p>From the days when Buddy Bolden would blow his cornet to attract an audience from one New Orleans park to another, to the brass bands in clubs and on the streets today, jazz in New Orleans has been about simple things: getting people to snap their fingers, tap their toes, get up and clap their hands, and most importantly dance! From the 1890s to World War I, from uptown to Faubourg Treme and out to the lakefront, New Orleans embraced this uniquely American form of music. Local musicians nurtured jazz, matured it, and passed it on to others. Some left the city to make their names elsewhere, while others stayed, playing the clubs, marching in the parades, and sending loved ones home with "jazz funerals." Older musicians mentored younger ones, preserving the traditions that give New Orleans such an exciting jazz scene today.</p>
