How to use these pages
It stands to reason that the music of players who grow up and develop together will exhibit many similarities. As a result, different regions of the country are represented by stylistic differences in their mix of jazz sound. Listeners will readily identify the major regions and, chances are, will embrace a majority of the artists within specific cities in those regions.
These listings group the players for those listeners who wish to pursue the sound coming out of a particular city. The city lists can also be used as a quick identification of where a particular player’s sound originated.
