5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent jazz history resource!, July 27, 2003

This review is from: Jazz Masters Of The 20s (Da Capo Paperback) (Paperback)
This compilation of "shorts," written all by Richard Hadlock, are packed with little gems about the history of jazz. Each chapter, based on a different artist, contains a superb bibliography and discography. The writing style of this book is so smooth that you don't realize that you are experiencing a course in jazz history. You really feel like you are there. Hadlock also bases many of his comments on the recordings that he obviously has spent many hours with. What a shame that this book is out of print (but you can still get it from the used books on the B&N site), and that he hasn't written many more volumes. Hadlock is a former Sidney Bechet student from the 1950s.
