Customer Reviews

Indispensible book for both novice and seasoned enthusiasts.

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.
