The result is an endlessly browsable companion that will prove required reading for aficionados and jazz novices alike. 14,000 CDs reviewed 2,000 new discs in this edition Over 400 new artist listings '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 'Part jazz history, part jazz Karma Sutra with Cook and Morton as the knowledgeable, urbane, wise and witty guides ... This is one of the great books of recorded jazz; the other guides don't come close' Irish Times
