Richard Cook's Jazz Encyclopedia is not merely an A-Z guide to the
artists and bands who have shaped jazz, but it also tracks the
history of jazz and its changing styles. This is a wonderfully
accessible work. Richard Cook's passion for jazz and his strongly
held opinions make this the liveliest and most trenchantly witty
encyclopedia you'll have read. Whether you're trying to find out
why Louis Armstrong was called Satchmo (his nickname as a kid was
Satchelmouth), what bebop is, or the difference between Gil Evans
and Bill Evans - this book has all the answers.
