It's all about...Spiritual Jazz Dan Tanswell

This is a short guidebook to Spiritual Jazz, a subgenre of mainstream Jazz. This book will venture into the history, soundstyle, fashion, psychology and sociology of Spiritual Jaz. With an A-Z of the subgenre's best albums, giving an introduction to its best and most iconic sounds and an 'if you love this subgenre you may also love...' section providing a route to other genres and subgenres, this book is a must for music lovers looking to expand their knowledge. This book exists because there is no book that I know of in existence that has similar designs. I would have loved to discover this guide when I was a budding youthful crate digger. The book is an off-shoot from the mother-ship book: It's all about the Music - the A-Z of Music Genres and Beyond, an extensive foray into all the aspects of different music genres of past and present. This smaller specific guide is in fact the second in a series of short guides to specific subgenres, subgenres that have little written about them or are thoroughly misunderstood. The aim of this book, and its series, is to try and educate people, in the hope of changing public opinion about the musical styles being discussed. Other books will follow - as of yet, the next in the series is still to be decided upon. Keep your ear to the ground.
