The Jazz Palace

Year of Release: 2015
256 pages
Mary Morris' The Jazz Palace reads like a glorious jazz riff. Chock-full of the history of post World War I Chicago, the story focuses on a gifted young piano player and his pursuit of a new form of music. I had the great pleasure of chatting with author and fellow Chicago native Mary Morris about her latest novel. Click through to hear her thoughts on the book, Chicago and Jazz. Plus we have the author's own jazz playlist and a reading guide for book clubs.
