Many jazz fans and critics -- and even some jazz musicians -- contend that white players have contributed little of substance to the music. Now, with Lost Chords, musician-historian Richard M. Sudhalter challenges this narrow view, with a book that pays definitive tribute to a generation of white jazz players, many unjustly forgotten -- while never scanting the role of the great black pioneers.
