Beskrivning

A personal, and sometimes controversial, selection by three jazz critics of the "best" 250 jazz records - mostly LP collections of 78 rpm originals - from the earliest roots of music to the beginnings of the modern jazz era. Each record is placed in its musical context and reviewed in some depth. For each disc, full details of personnel and recording dates and locations are given.

Faktaspäckad bok om klassiska jazzwax. Mer specifikt om samlade 78-varvare på 250 LP-skivor. Stringent text utan en massa ovidkommande information. Saknar dock en del Luncefordgods som Rhythm is our business (1934-1935) samt Columbia 1939-40 utgiven som 4LP Box. Men det kan ändå inte förta helhetsintrycket; att verket är enastående i sitt slag!
