For the first time, renown player and educator Richie Beirach puts in print his five decade long experiences as both a student and instructor of jazz.  
Performer, author, and teacher, Michael Lake, collaborates with Richie to produce this honest no-holds bared examination of how jazz is taught and learned. 
Discover the 100-year evolution of jazz education, the makings for an effective teacher, the realities of a university education and how best to choose the right school, the mindset and technologies available to elevate musicians in their pursuit of jazz, the psychological process of learning a complex skill like music, and the future these two passionate jazz advocates see for this music. 
“Richie’s thoughts within this book are as tight as usual. He positions himself in a way that could be construed as argumentative on several subjects but always thought-out and logical (as he is musically as well.)  
The mentors description with Richie as the centerpiece are historical in their implications considering the learning on the job atmosphere that our generation reveled in.  
Richie discusses the workings of the present situation in higher learning and future remedies that could be applied. The book is strongly optimistic and will inspire readers to think deeply about the legacy of jazz education.”

Praised as "suave, soulful, ebullient" (Tom Waits), Elijah Wald is one of the leading popular music critics of his generation. In The Blues, Wald surveys a genre at the heart of American culture. 
 
 
 
It has been defined by lyrical structure, or as a progression of chords, or as a set of practices reflecting West African "tonal and rhythmic approaches," using a five-note "blues scale." He traces its roots in work and praise songs, and shows how it was transformed by such professional performers as W. C. Handy, who first popularized the blues a century ago. He follows its evolution from Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith through Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix; identifies the impact of rural field recordings of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Charley Patton, and others; explores the role of blues in the development of both country music and jazz; and looks at the popular rhythm and blues trends of the 1940s and 1950s, from the uptown West Coast style of T-Bone Walker to the "down home" Chicago sound of Muddy Waters. Wald brings the story up to the present, touching on the effects of blues on American poetry, and its connection to modern styles such as rap. 
 
 
 
As with all of Oxford's Very Short Introductions, The Blues tells you—with insight, clarity, and wit—everything you need to know to understand this quintessentially American musical genre.
