American Music

What’s the difference between jazz, blues, soul, ragtime, and dixie? What kind of music will you hear in Nashville, Tennessee? Who was the „king” of rock ’n’ roll? American Music introduces you to the world of American popular music, from the early days of jazz to the rock music of the 1990s. It presents the music, the stars, and also the historical and social background that produced them. Amrican Music is one of a series of fully illustrated readers designed to give students at elementary to lower intermediate level a feeling for the U.S.A., its people, and its culture.
