In 3 volumes and with 7750 articles, "The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz", second edition is a resource for any serious jazz enthusiast or scholar. Featuring 2750 new entries and 1500 new biographies of musicians who came to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s, this new edition draws on the explosion of jazz research over the past dozen years.

À propos de l'auteur

Since gaining a Ph.D. in musicology at Cornell University in 1981, Barry Kernfeld has made a career of writing about jazz. A native of San Francisco, he was the first musicologist to win a grant-in-aid from the Martha Baird Rockerfeller Fund for Music (1980-81) for a topic in American music: a study of improvisation in Miles Davis's sextet (Ph.D., Cornell University, 1981). In addition to serving as editor of Grove Jazz, he has written What to Listen for in Jazz (Yale University Press), and for many years he has been playing saxophone in jazz groups in cafes in State College, Pennsylvania, where he lives.
