  • Description

    From humble origins in New Orleans to its journey upriver to Chicago, this Rough Guide charts the 1920s "golden age" of jazz with classic tracks by legends such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington & Jelly Roll Morton as well as many other pioneering artists.

    Seminal recordings by trailblazing jazz artists who paved the way for what has become a global phenomenon. Includes the instrumental brilliance of soloists including Eddie Lang, Bix Beiderbecke and Earl Hines. Following on from the success of other American roots titles in the Rough Guide range, 'The Rough Guide to the Roots of Jazz' is the perfect overview of the emerging styles and key performers of early jazz on one album.

    Lovingly remastered using pioneering restoration techniques.
