The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings
The essential guide to recorded jazz, now in its ninth edition

Firmly established as the world’s leading guide to jazz, this celebrated reference book is a mine of fascinating information and insightful—often wittily trenchant—criticism. For this completely revised edition, Richard Cook and Brian Morton have reassessed each artist’s entry and updated the text to incorporate thousands of additional CDs and artists. The result is an endlessly browsable companion for jazz aficionados and novices alike.

“ It’s the kind of book that you’ll yank off the shelf to look up a quick fact and still be reading two hours later.”
Fortune

“ The leader in its field . . . if you own only one book on jazz, it really should be this one.”
International Record Review
