Playing Changes: Jazz for the New Century by Nate Chinen

4.0

What I thought would be a history of modern jazz (something I care deeply about) ended up being a series of mini-stories on various modern artists. Chinen tries his best to stress the individuality of everyone he covers, but the sheer quantity of features contained makes it hard not to start skimming over all the prose. Still, an appreciable effort from someone invested in the modern jazz scene.
