5.0 out of 5 stars
Indispensible book for both novice and seasoned enthusiasts.,
By
This review is from: The Blackwell Guide to Recorded Jazz (Paperback)
Barry Kernfeld's book of recommended jazz recordings is without peer not only for its depth of coverage for individual artists and recordings, but also for its sense of historical perspective and scholarly approach. While I may consult other sources, Kernfeld et al consistently offer a more thorough and thoughtful discussion of each of the recordings it covers. Strongly recommended.

The title index is not completely alphabetical.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Blackwell Guide to Recorded Jazz (Paperback)
After extended use of the title index, I find that it is not well alphabetized. On page 560 for example, At a Dixie..., At the Half..., At Harmony. There are other examples.
