Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Fifth edition, completely revised and updated, first published 2000. 1725pp. includes full index of artists. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "THE PENGUIN GUIDE TO JAZZ ON CD is now firmly established as the world's leading guide to recorded jazz, a mine of fascinating information and a source of insightful--often wittily trenchant--criticism. For this expanded fifth edition, Richard Cook and Brian Morton have reassessed each artist's entry and updated the text to incorporate thousands of additional CDs." [publisher copy] "Jazz fans will find this massive reference book indispensable. Other guides to jazz pale by comparison."--Goldmine. "Wondering whether that old LP you have of Lester at Birdland is available on CD? When Branford and Wynton Marsalis have recorded together? The best collection of Billie Holiday tunes? If so, then this is the book for you. This fifth edition of Penguin's definitive guide to jazz recordings on compact disc expands on the stellar reputation of its predecessors, the first of which appeared in 1992. Organized alphabetically by artist, the book boasts more than 10,000 entries (approximately 2000 more than the fourth edition), an easier-to-read, two-column format, and bright white paper stock. Cook, an editor at Jazz Review, and Morton, a BBC announcer, have reappraised entries, deleting albums that have gone out of print and adding new releases. For example, under 'John Zorn,' readers will notice 20 more recordings. Each entry also offers complete label and numbering information, incisive critical commentary, personnel listings, and for the first time short biographical sketches of various artists. As in previous editions, each entry is given a shorthand rating of one to four stars. The writers' wit, attention to detail, and consistently incisive commentary make this essential for even the most discriminating jazz enthusiast."--Library Journal. "The entry on each artist reads like an intriguing blend of good liner notes and sharp critical assessment. It's the kind of book that you'll yank off the shelf to look up a quick fact and still be reading two hours later."--Fortune. "Every look through its seductively erudite pages reveals more that simply has to be heard. . . Here, anyway, is enough for a lifetime."--The Times. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.
