The social and musical history of the Montreal jazz community, from the birth of jazz to 1970.

Includes 70 historic photos.

Excerpts

For almost half a century, more jazz was made in Montreal than anywhere else in Canada. This book is both a portrait of that creative era and an attempt to explain its birth, vitality, and demise.
