Synopsis
This reference book covers the whole range of jazz from Buddy Bolden, pioneer of jazz trumpet, to young players of the 1990s, like Roy Hargrove. It is a completely revised edition of the "Essential Guide to Jazz", featuring updated and expanded entries, over 300 new artists, and the authors' personal recommendations of some 3000 key albums. The guide is both a "Who's Who" of jazz, detailing careers and developments, and a buyer's companion to the best albums on CD and vinyl. It features A-Z critical biographies of nearly 2000 musicians with reviews of their key recordings. A glossary gives concise explanations of all the crucial terms and ideas, from swing to neo-bop, and from improvisation to harmolodics. It is illustrated throughout with photographs of the greatest players in action. The authors are all jazz musicians themselves, and bring a musician's inside knowledge of the music and the scene. Trumpeter Ian Carr is a biographer of Miles Davis, and trumpeter Digby Fairweather and pianist Brian Priestley are broadcasters.

Format:Taschenbuch
I enjoyed this book because of its widespread coverage of both American and international jazz musicians. It's an excellent musical resource which has a place in my music library alongside with such user-friendly guides as "World Music: The Rough Guide" and "The Brazilian Sound."
Format:Taschenbuch
The essays are excellent and informative, but there is a noticeable emphasis on musicians from outside the U.S., occasionally to the short-shrifting, in my humble opinion, of some of the better known U.S. musicians. Also, if you're looking for a _comprehensive_ guide to recorded music, this is definitely not it. The authors select a few albums they feel are noteworthy and don't mention the rest.

Not the perfect book, but a great reference
2. August 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Like all guides that intend or claim to be definitive references to their subject matter, this falls short to an extent, and will not please everyone. However, along with other companion books, this is a great reference guide to jazz artists and styles.
