All That's Jazz

by Sammy Stein

All That’s Jazz is about the passion of jazz music; how jazz persists as a genre; its evolving development and how it affects those who play, record, host and manage the industry. Jazz in the 21st century is a huge but little-explored community, consisting of artists, record labels, magazines, jazz venues, jazz festivals and jazz radio stations. Jazz is increasing in popularity in all of the best music colleges. All That’s Jazz explores all of this and more – for the first time all of contemporary jazz culture is explored, with contributions from  the leading names in the industry. What makes jazz persist? How is it changing? And what is its future? Sammy Stein is known for her interviews with many musicians and her insightful reviews of CDs, concerts and articles on jazz history and the current jazz scene. Sammy is columnist for All About Jazz, Something Else Reviews and Jazz in Europe and is renowned for her insightful, honest and accessible writing style. Many in the jazz world are already excited about this book, and so they should be. It is the book that Jazz has been waiting for!

A book which opens up jazz - very good layout and the people involved were very well known but also some not so much. I found this a bok I went to and back from. Enjoyable and a good read.

A fascinating and deeply insightful exploration of modern jazz culture. This book goes far beyond music itself and dives into the people, passion, and evolving landscape that keep jazz alive today. Sammy Stein’s writing is both intelligent and accessible, making this an engaging read for longtime jazz lovers and newcomers alike.
