Jazz 11: Addenda / Various

There is no single kind of music that led to the creation of Jazz. Instead, the genre evolved, and continues to evolve, from diverse musical avenues. In his liner notes to the final volume of Folkways' first Jazz series, Frederic Ramsey Jr.. writes, "[this album] includes fourteen notable performances arranged so as to touch lightly but firmly on as many highlights of Jazz development; it is a sort of a reprise... of all that has gone into the preceding ten volumes."
