Der Jazz hat im letzten Jahrhundert die Welt erobert: Ausgehend vom amerikanischen Süden erstreckt sich sein Siegeszug über Chicago, New York, hinüber an die Westküste und schließlich nach Übersee: Paris, London und Berlin. Mit ausnahmslos repräsentativen Titeln bieten die »Roads Of Jazz« einen kompakten Einstieg in die Geschichte dieses Genres und zeichnen alle wichtigen Stationen und Stile von den ersten Aufnahmen 1917 bis zum modernen Jazz der 1960er-Jahre nach. Mit dabei sind tonangebende Jazz-Pioniere wie Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman und Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz und Coleman Hawkins bis hin zu Duke Ellington, Django Reinhardt und Teddy Staufer.
