NURI AS-SAID, by Lord Birdwood; Cassell, English price 30/-. A biography of the former Prime Minister of Iraq, who was assassinated in the July, 1958, revolution, set against the back_ground of the Middle East question as a whole. HE BOOK OF JAZZ: A Guide to the Entire Field, by Leonard Feather; Arthur Barker, English price 21/-. A useful text for anyone beginning a serious study of Jazz, or extending a general study of music into that field. The author is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a practised interpreter, in print and on the air, of the jazz idiom. At 280 pages, including a good index, the Entire Field of the sub-title is perhaps an excessive claim, but the book covers a wide area of past history and current activity, and even includes a final chapter on "Horizons: Jazz in 1984." The most interesting innovation, perhaps, is the section on "The Anatomy of Improvisation" which examines at length (and with illustrations supplied by leading players) an essential element of authentic jazz often neglected by "academic" critics.
