My mom went to school in New Orleans so she's always been pretty keen on jazz. But she has a few books about jazz, and since I have the overwhelming urge to read any litature (especially music or phycology realated) that I see lying around the house, I've read them. The only one that pertains to your question is called
The Story of Jazz by Marshall ? (I can't remember the last name and don't feel like searching my house for it, but if you need it tell me and i'll go and find it). It is pretty informative and easy to read for a jazz book, because a few of them I have read are very erudite.
