BLUES

AN ANTHOLOGY

Edited by W. C. HANDY Introduction by ABBE NILES Illustrations by MIGUEL COVARRUBIAS

EVER since the enormous vogue of the “St.

Louis Blues,” and the “Memphis Blues,” still the most popular jazz pieces today, W. C. Handy, their composer, has taken his place as the Father of the Blues. His selection of over forty pieces, ranging from the early blues to the most popular jazz today, will necessarily find its place on the rack of every piano this year.

There is a long and vivid introduction in which entirely new light is thrown upon the origin, development, and nature of the blues and of jazz. The book is studded with the in¬ imitable caricatures, in the spirit of the “blues,” by Covarrubias.
