For anyone who’s been “lost” trying to experience the rich jazz heritage of New York City, Dec. 1 marks the beginning of a new era.
Travel book publisher Little Bookroom will release Jazz Guide: New York City written by arts journalist and New York resident Steve Dollar.
Retailing for about $16, the travel-size book splits the city up into sections, putting profiles of jazz forums, galleries and venues next to shorts about some historical jazz moments in the city. There is also a “Beyond The Clubs” section featuring information about yearly festivals and local radio. Nicholas Prior provided jazz photos.
