Customer Reviews

really shows how music started from 1900 to today

Mr. Mancuso has really integrated visualls into music through his teaching and lectures... His book is a reflection of his style. Not one book has more pictures (a lot rare) of artists and composers to show how music has grown in the last 100 years.

excellent

It is the most thorough accessment of American Popular Music I have seen. Mancuso's theory of underground inluences is a unique slant on the subject.

The ultimate look at the first 50 yrs of music available.

This is the most comprehensive look at the first half of this century of music ever put to paper. From the first jazz recording ever, to Mel Torme, to Mark Murphy...to ROY ROGERS.....it's all there!As a reference, this book is invaluable.Unbelievable.
