From the Publisher
Swing by Scott Yanow launches a new series of music guides called Third Ear -- The Essential Listening Companion. These guides are designed to offer fresh perspectives on the breadth and depth of rich music genres, as well as new discoveries of great recordings. Each illustrated guide is written by a leading journalist in the field. Other forthcoming Third Ear guides include Alternative Rock and Celtic Music, as well as Yanow's Bebop and Afro-Cuban Jazz.
Yanow's work for the All Music Guide to Jazz has been warmly praised:

"An indispensable resource for any jazz record collector." -- Los Angeles Times
"An enormous amount of useful information is provided." -- JazzTimes
"This is quite an amazing book." -- L.A. Jazz Scene
