Tad Lathrop's newest title, "Discover Jazz," coedited with Smithsonian Curator of American Music John Edward Hasse, takes an expansive look at this music. "Discover Jazz" explores not only jazz evolution but also its fascinating connections to other aspects of modern life: the arts, social trends and historic events, technological developments, and more. This panoramic view is achieved through the written contributions of distinguished scholars from across the musical and cultural spectrum, hundreds of photographs and images that bring the history to vivid life, a set of CDs compiling some of the very best jazz recordings of the past century, insightful listening guides to many of those recordings, plus supplemental multimedia materials online, including documentaries, filmed performances, streaming audio, and study guides.Tad's book on the music business, "This Business of Music Marketing and Promotion," has been widely read and taught since its first publication in 1999. He expanded one of that book's chapters, on marketing and promoting music in foreign countries, to the full-length volume "This Business of Global Music Marketing," published in 2007. This was one of the first books to chronicle the complexities of digital music distribution worldwide.
