Duncan Schiedt's pioneering effort to chronicle Indiana's contribution to jazz is now in it's second printing.He more than complements the meagre information about Indiana and jazz which was previously relegated to briefreferences to the Wolverines at the Casino Gardens and that Bix Beiderbeckeand Frank Trumbauer joined Whiteman there.Jazz great Eddie Condon fromGoodland, Indiana is only one of many musicians, Hoosier and otherwise whoplayed in Indianapolis and/or recorded at the famous Gennett studios inRichmond, Indiana. The list of names are a veritable "Who's Who"in jazz.Sheidt knows his subject matter well.The book is loaded withphotographs, many of which are Duncan's. After all he made a living foryears as a photographer."The Jazz State of Indiana" is a gemand a must-buy for any devotee of jazz.
