JAZZ SINGERS: THE TOP 500

JAZZ ON FILM THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE MUSICIANS AND MUSIC ONSCREEN

A guide to jazz guitarists. It features hundreds of dossiers and discographies on every major (and not so major) jazz guitar player of note arranged in encyclopedia fashion.

Chicago became a center of freewheeling jazz in the 1920s with the efforts of Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, and Louis Armstrong, while classic jazz and swing took root in New York City in the '30s and '40s behind Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, and Benny Goodman, the King of Swing.
