5.0 out of 5 stars
Indispensible book for both novice and seasoned enthusiasts., July 18, 2003
This review is from: The Blackwell Guide to Recorded Jazz (Blackwell Reference) (Paperback)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars
The title index is not completely alphabetical., April 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Blackwell Guide to Recorded Jazz (Blackwell Reference) (Paperback)
After extended use of the title index, I find that it is not well alphabetized. On page 560 for example, At a Dixie..., At the Half..., At Harmony. There are other examples.
