He co-wrote (with Lynn Abbott) the award-winning book Out of Sight: The Rise of African American Popular Music, 1889-1895 and the forthcoming To Do This, You Must Know How: Music Pedagogy in the Black Gospel Quartet Tradition, both published by the University Press of Mississippi.
In this major work, authors Lynn Abbott and Doug Seroff have documented the popular music forms of the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. With meticulous research, they have illuminated the careers of pioneer jazz musicians and blues singers, and the dissemination of their music by traveling circuses, minstrel and tent shows. An essential study, recommended without reservation.--Paul Oliver
