Jazz Journey

Each Month, the Jazz Journey takes you on a unique tour
visiting with jazz artists, exploring styles and periods of
jazz history, and reviewing the works of jazz luminaries. This
month we feature our fourth installment of the Leonard Feather
Scrapbooks.

Dan Morgenstern's history of jazz
http://www2.jazzcentralstation.com/newjcs/main/morgenstern/issue.asp
We are pleased to offer The Jazz Story. An Outline History of Jazz
written by one of the world's foremost Jazz authorities, Dan
Morgenstern. This comprehensive overview serves as our educational
vehicle for those new to the art form, as well as regular listeners
who'll no doubt enjoy Dan's rendering of the Jazz Story.

The site does carry this disclaimer warning but it is only for the
(BBS and Chat Areas):  A place for free exchange of ideas and open
discussion. The Jazz Central Station community is not edited for
content and may include factual errors and/or language that may be
perceived as objectionable.

Special mention... Keep your eye out for this one! I wish I could
recommend this one for Jazz but that is marked as  "Future Chart"
You however, will find Composers listed in the Special Lifelines
area.. and other useful information.
