Just wrapping up Gary Krist's "Empire of Sin", a history of New Orleans from the 1880s thru the 1920s. Gives pretty good coverage on the origins of jazz & blues in NO with the major players of the time (Buddy Bolden, Kid Ory, Sidney Baquet, George Bachet, Joe Oliver, Freddie Keppard, Louie Armstrong & Jelly Roll Morton, to name a few). Sad that most of them did not make it into the more modern era of recording.
