Music: styles & genres

Hardback. Today, jazz is considered high art, America's national music, and the catalog of its recordings - its discography - is often taken for granted. This book examines recorded jazz from its careless handling as a novelty in the 1920s, through the deluge of 12-inch vinyl in the twentieth century, to the use of computers by today's discographers.
