Web Site Review
The Red Hot Jazz Archive: A History of Jazz before 1930 <http://www.redhotjazz.com>. Created and maintained by Scott Alexander. Reviewed June 2002.
|
The Red Hot Jazz Archive illustrates the advent of multimedia "amateur" jazz history. Nonacademic jazz fans have produced most of the extant jazz histories, biographies, and discographies, and now one of them, Scott Alexander, has built a fine and substantial Web site that is not just for aficionados. Red Hot Jazz allows all types of jazz scholars to explore and ponder more deeply the music's early history, and, more important, it introduces history students to a trove of rich and enjoyable primary sources. |
