Jazz on record


I just came across a fairly new (2003) book that is packed with information on jazz artists, lables, and recordings:

"Jazz on record : the first sixty years" by Scott Yankow. Published by Backbeat Books, 600 Harrison St, San Francisco, CA 94107 ISBN:0-87930-755-2. Price is 49.95

Really chock full of information on the history of recorded jazz through 1976. Book is divided into 10 chapters that explore each period, and it's various movements.

This is just one of Scott's wonderful jazz books. If you like this book, you'll want to check out the others.

As a side note, Scott Yankow is also a featured record reviewer for the All Music Guide to jazz. You may also wish to buy an AMG to Jazz book.

Happy reading,
