Reader's Notes - Why Jazz Happened




One of my very favorite jazz blogs is JazzWax, a creation of Marc Meyers, who also writes for the Wall Street Journal.  Meyers has a new book out from the University of California Press, Why Jazz Happened.  He's also come out with a series of videos and blog entries to explain many of the ideas behind his social history of the music.  You can check out JazzWax for a full treatment, or simply watch the first video below.  Meyers and Why Jazz Happened will be the subject of Passing Notes next week.
