This is a very efficient cookie, even at 1534 pages; opinionated, trenchant and very often brilliant in its take on this great music.
If you love Jazz, you should have it. If you don’t have your bearings with the music, all the more reason.

There’s an equally indispensable Penguin guide the Blues, too, by Tony Russell and Chris Smith, with Neil Slaven, Ricky Russell and
Joe Faulkner. Plunk for them. They are well worth it.
