Richard Cook and Brian Morton's Penguin Jazz Guide: The History of
the Music in 1001 Best Albums is an indispensible guide to the
recordings that every fan should know. Richard Cook and Brian
Morton's Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings is firmly established as
the world's leading guide to the music. In this book, Brian Morton
has picked out 1001 essential recordings from their acclaimed
guide, adding new information, revising and reassessing each entry,
and showing how these key pieces tell the history of the music -
and with it the history of the twentieth century. These are the
essential albums that that all true jazz fans should own, or - at
the very least - have listened to, from Kind of Blue to
lesser-known classics and more surprising choices. Full of
fascinating updated biographical information, new quotes and
interviews and, of course, highly opinionated and wittily trenchant
critical reviews, the result is an endlessly browsable companion
that will prove required reading for aficionados and jazz novices
alike. 'One of the great books of recorded jazz; the other guides
don't come close' Irish Times '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 'The leader in its field ... If you own only
one book on jazz, it really should be this one' International
Record Review 'Indispensable and incomparable' NME Brian Morton is
a freelance writer and broadcaster who for many years presented
Radio 3's jazz magazine Impressions and In Tune. Richard Cook
(1957-2007) was formerly editor of The Wire and edited Jazz Review.
He contributed to many other publications, including the New
Statesman and his books included Richard Cook's Jazz Encyclopaedia
and It's About That Time: Miles Davis on Record.
