520 _a"In preparing Jazzmen we have had a very definite purpose: to relate the story of jazz as it has unfolded about the men who created it, the musicians themselves...While retaining the the contrasting opinions of each contributor, we have at the same time thrown the emphasis of the work upon the jazzmen. For it is the musicians, the creators of jazz, who have actually been most neglected while critical battles have been fought. We feel that their story, heretofore untold, is of major value. This book has attempted to fill the gaps left by critics who, chiefly concerned with their appraisal of the music, have forgotten the musicians. One or another of the authors has interviewed every living jazz musician who could contribute factual material." -- From the introduction.
520 _a"Required background reading not only for jazz buffs, collectors, reporters, reviewers, and historians, but also for all students of contemporary American culture. Especially noteworthy is Rodger Pryor Dodge's survey of early jazz criticism." -- From the book jacket.
