About this listen

 The Future Was Then is a survey of modern jazz in the USA between the years 1944 and ’54 and covers the major sub-genres – bebop, cool and West Coast jazz – as well as other developments such as Cubop, hard bop, chamber jazz and proto-Third Stream. Its aim is to highlight the work of modern jazz pioneers during the period, both famous and obscure, and in a lengthy A-Z close to 150 musicians are discussed. Also included is a chapter where the various types of early modern jazz are defined. The Future Was Then is written in an accessible style with little in the way of complex terminology and is aimed at experienced modern jazz fans as well as younger readers wishing to get a handle on the music. It concludes with a list of 92 essential albums.
