An analysis of the great piano styles of 1936 to 1950, a period of creative ferment which saw the culmination of the rag-time tradition and its destruction and replacement by innovations of the "bop" era. This volume examines the stylistic structure of over fifty major performances by the five greatest jazz pianists of the period - Teddy Wilson, Art Tatum, Bud Powell, George Shearing, Horace Silver - giving in unprecedented detail their extraordinary improvisations on the basic songs of the jazz repertoire.
