New Structures in Jazz and Improvised Music since 1960 by Roger Dean

[lazy]

This is one hell of a book!
Finally, at last a book that really speaks about the music and not all the shity stuff around.
I read briefly through the book once and intend to read it many more times using it as a listening guide.
