Publishers Description: Among aficionados, the jazz scene in Amsterdam is legendary for its thriving, vital sound and is becoming more recognized thanks to frequent tours by its most skilled artists. In this book, music critic Kevin Whitehead explores this alternative musical universe, where composers and improvisers come together to form a more perfect musical culture. He combines oral history, critical evaluations of key recordings, eyewitness accounts of live performances and sociological/linguistic factors.
