Jazz Enlightenment
If you’ve read the rest of this book (or even if you haven’t), you may want
to expand on your jazz basics and start building a collection by seeking
new sources of information. Check out this appendix for starters!
Books The All Music Guide to Jazz, Fourth Edition (Backbeat): Edited by Michael
Erlewine, with Vladimir Bogdanov, Chris Woodstra, and Scott Yanow. The
authoritative guide to recorded jazz with reviews of more than 18,000 albums,
as well as essays, lists of key players, profiles, and timelines.
American Musicians: 56 Portraits in Jazz (Oxford University): By Whitney
Balliett. Published in 1978, Balliett’s initial survey of top jazz players. Out of
print but worth hunting for in used bookstores.
American Musicians II: Seventy-Two Portraits in Jazz (Oxford University):
By Whitney Balliett. More great writing on jazz musicians from the gifted New
Yorker magazine writer.
American Singers: Twenty-Seven Portraits in Song (Oxford University): By
Whitney Balliett. Balliett, longtime writer for the New Yorker magazine, profiles
27 of jazz’s leading vocalists. Balliett is a solid and sensitive writer whose
essays attain a literary quality seldom found among music scribes.
Bass Line: The Stories and Photographs of Milt Hinton (Temple University):
By Milt Hinton and David Berger. Hinton is one of the music’s most prolific and
inventive bassists with a career spanning seven decades. This book proves
that he’s also an excellent photographer. The black-and-white photos capture
dozens of jazz greats in private, behind-the-scenes moments that only a fellow
jazzman would be privileged to observe.
