What kind of jazz? Jazz history at Verve

Sometimes people ask me: "Do you like jazz?". "Of course I do", I answer. But then I wonder, "What kind of jazz you mean?" Because there are so many styles of jazz they could be talking about: New Orleans, swing, bebop, latin, cool, fusion, hard bop, avant garde, vocal jazz and many other jazz styles.

The jazz label Verve has descriptions of the history of different jazz styles.

I like swing music best, of course.

Do you know any other good web sites about jazz styles? Let me know.
