The Art of Jazz: Essays on the Nature and Development of Jazz

1st edition, 1st printing. [vi], 248pp, with occasional illustrative, musical scores. In red cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on spine. 8vo. Boards a little faded on extreme edges, gently rubbed and rounded on corners and spine ends. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight barring small pen mark on front free endpaper.

Striking dust jacket designed by Paul Oliver, making this a way more attractive edition than the book club equivalent issued two years later.
