Designed by Fritz Klaetke of Visual Dialogue, Jazz: The Smithsonian Anthology traces the history of jazz through 6 CDs and a 200-page book featuring essays by 30 writers and a treasury of rarely-seen photographs.
With 111 tracks that showcase artists at their best and most influential, this remarkable anthology is the successor to the milestone Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz of 1973, once again offering a wellspring resource for educators, students, musicians, beginners, and aficionados.
