Publisher's Note
The Rough Guide to Jazz surpasses all other handbooks with more than 1600 critical biographies, covering the spectrum from the legendary cornettist Buddy Bolden to cool young players of the 1990s like Roy Hargrove and Julian Joseph. Illustrated throughout with classic jazz shots and album covers, the Rough Guide is a completely revised edition of the acclaimed Essential Guide to Jazz. The authors have updated and expanded all the original entries, added hundreds of new artists, and provided personal recommendations of some three thousand key albums on both CD and vinyl - the ultimate jazz aficionado's collection.

Industry Reviews
YA The biographies of nearly 2,000 leading individual musicians and groups, both contemporary and from the early part of this century, are presented here. The emphasis is on each person's interest in and contribution to the world of music. Information such as family or education may not be given unless it relates to that topic. Written by jazz musicians themselves, the entries conclude with annotated recommendations for purchase of the "best and most representative recordings" of that artist. The designation of CD or LP is done through symbols. The black-and-white photographs add interest. The concluding 30-page glossary discusses styles, techniques, and terms. This section will be useful in its own right as long as librarians remember that it is in a resource shelved in the collective biography section. A comprehensive resource. Claudia Moore, W. T.
