Synopsis
This contains over 4500 essays by many jazz writers and scholars. It blends information with selected recordings, bibliographical data and critical assessments. Entries cover performers, styles, festivals and venues, instruments, record labels, terminology and the history of jazz. The whole scope of jazz is covered, from Louis Armstrong to Boogie Woogie, from improvization to the Montreux Festival, and from blues to the banjo and Bird. It is an unaltered reprint in one edition of the original edition, but it includes a list of the jazz musicians who have passed away in the years since publication.

From Library Journal
This massive work deserves highest praise for bringing to jazz music the breadth and rigorous methodology that characterizes Grove projects. Supplementing and updating all extant jazz reference works, this set will prove important for a variety of collections and will not likely be superseded in the near future. Balancing description with evaluation, it provides erudite discussion of an often misunderstood music. Besides giving detailed attention to all styles and periods of jazz, it includes related topics such as jazz films, festivals, and record labels. A 21-page appendix lists jazz reference works, periodicals, and discographies. Highly recommended.
