[David M Richoux]

http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=35861  gives a very  
good review - here is a snip:

> Jazz historian and WWOZ radio host Tom Morgan has assembled rare  
> photographs and added text and captions that bring the photos to  
> life as he tells the story of jazz in New Orleans in a way only a  
> good historian and storyteller can do. The book contains some 200  
> pages of beautiful photographs with captions. They are arranged in  
> time order in five chapters, each beginning with a one page  
> description by Morgan of the era to follow.
>
> The book contains many photographs familiar to early jazz fans— 
> cornetistBuddy Bolden's only known photo, from 1909; Louis Armstrong  
> holding his trumpet proud as a young boy in the Municipal Boys Home  
> Band, and various photos of pianist Jelly Roll Morton. There are  
> also photographs of trombnist Kid Ory, cornetists King Oliver and  
> Freddie Keppard, banjoist Johnny St. Cyr and many others from the  
> early jazz era. The book proceeds into later era where Pete  
> Fountain, Tuba Fats, The Neville Brothers, Banu Gibson and Kermit  
> Ruffin are featured.
