Reader Reviews
Jazz is a many splendored thing, and it is very nice to have such a comprehensive review of titles currently in print. You won't find a better compendium anywhere. For some reason jazz continues to remain a veiled subject. Few on-line sources go beyond the mainstream, but Richard Cook and Bryan Morton cover a tremendous amount of territory, taking in jazz from around the world, not just Hard Bop and contemporary fusion. They cover the artists down through the years, noting which are the most important CDs to help you round out your collection. They provide many trenchant observations and clue you into new artists, as well as uncover a few gems from the past that are back in print. It is best to hold onto back copies because the authors only cover what is currently in print, so selections vary from edition to edition.
