Book Reviews of All Music Guide to Jazz : The Definitive Guide to Jazz Music

Book Review: AMG All Music Guide to Jazz 4th ed.
Summary: 4 Stars

The AMG guide is a major resource for anyone interested in jazz at any level. They claim that over 20,000 recordings are reviewed and I believe them! The reviews and articles are excellent. However to publish this new edition and keep the page-count constant with the 3rd, they have reduced the size of the type. It can be read if one has normal sight--but with difficulty. Older readers might well need a magnifying glass.
