It's mainly about music - not just jazz but R&B, brass bands and most importantly the people who make the music and live their lives around the music. If you love New Orleans and the music of New Orleans - and its impossible to love one and not the other - you absolutely have to read this wonderful book.
Up From the Cradle of Jazz is a thorough, engaging, and well researched history of New Orleans music since World War II. While the book does give space to other genres (eg modern jazz, brass bands), the focus is on r&b including heavy hitters such as Professor Longhair, Fats Domino, Huey Smith, Allen Touissant, Dr. John, The Meters, Wild Magnolias, et al. In chronicling these artists, great attention is also given to session players, producers, and other figures that a lesser book might omit.

The new edition includes two epilogue chapters that artfully fill in some of the gaps since the book's initial publication, and give great context to post-Katrina New Orleans and its impact on the musical culture. In addition to the wealth of information in the text itself, the appendix boasts a selected discography, as you will surely want to explore this musical bounty further.

The book has an academic depth to it, but is certainly accessible to a general audience. If you have interest in the great music that came out of New Orleans in the last half of the 20th century, this book is essential.
