二十世纪初，爵士乐于纽奥尔良诞生。十九世纪，葡萄牙人将乌克丽丽带到夏威夷，夏威夷人则把它发扬光大，乌克丽丽热潮正在全世界风起云涌着。

　　过去的「爵士乐」与「乌克丽丽」几乎是两条平行线，如今，「乌克丽丽的狂热」加上「爵士乐兼容不同音乐文化的特质」，使得两者紧密结合了。

　　本书精选六首最具代表性的爵士乐曲。有了这些爵士标准曲目的引领，所有乌克丽丽爱好者必能顺利开启爵士乐殿堂的大门。附示范∕伴奏专用CD。

　　Jazz was born in America at the beginning of the 20th century. This new musical idiom combined European classical music, the complex rhythm of African music, and American pop music.

　　Ukulele was introduced in Hawaii in the 19th century. The Hawaiian people adopted this new instrument and made it popular worldwide. In fact, today the ukulele is an icon of Hawaiian music and has given rise to ukulele fever.

　　In the past, "Jazz" and "Ukulele" followed two parallel lines of evolution. However, the popularity of jazz and ukulele fever made it inevitable that these two musical forms come together. This collection of six songs highlights some great examples of this exciting new musical combination.
