Jazz in Nigeria: An Outline Cultural History

A lovely softcover copy of a scarce and fascinating book. 8vo. 100pp. Blue and white wraps. Clearly inexpensively printed with numerous photographs poorly reproduced. This is first book by Bassey Ita, a noted arts, culture and political critic of considerable stature in Nigeria. This books looks at three decades of jazz in Nigeria and its effect on the culture. Originally a series of articles gathered into book form with chapters covering topics such as "The African Roots of Jazz", "The Jazz Bug Eats Deep" and "No Bebop Posture Here!". A very cool and offbeat item. 12242
