Book Reviews of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings: Eighth Edition
Book Review: The jazz bible
Summary: 5 Stars
This is simply the most important publication ever issued on jazz. It's indispensible both to anyone with even the slightest interest and to jazz aficionados. I've been using it for years and it has never led me astray. And besides being an almost infallible guide to which CDs to buy, it contains a wealth of information and informed comment. It's also refreshingly open to any style of music that might conceivably come under the heading "jazz". And it isn't just a reference either: you can sit down and read through it for pleasure. I love it.
