«La storia del jazz» is the jazz history essay by Walter Mauro, published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (100 pages, in Italian).
It traces the history of jazz from New Orleans to swing, bebop, Californian cool and free jazz, with the 1929 crisis and the fight for civil rights as a backdrop. The author, a music critic, focuses on its great protagonists and how their lives fed a clearly alternative musical language.
The work appeared in 1994 in the Il sapere series, from Newton Compton Editori; the author collaborated with RAI jazz programs and wrote the «Jazz» entry for the Treccani Encyclopedia.
An accessible starting point for beginning in the history of jazz, in a popularizing collection with simple reading.
