BUDDS, Michael J. Jazz in the Sixties: The EXpansion of Musical Resources and Techniques.

(Iowa City, IA): University of Iowa Press, 1978.  First edition.  Softcover.  21.5cm by 14cm.  124 pages. An insightful exploration of jazz’s transformative decade, the book delves into the stylistic experimentation that characterized the musical goals of jazz musicians during the 1960s. Rather than merely offering portraits of significant players of the era, Budds identifies resources and techniques new to jazz or regards those which were reintroduced into a new musical context. To direct the reader to the music itself, he cites eighty-five basic recordings from the period. A very good copy in wrapppers.
