The Penguin Jazz Guide: The History of the Music in the 1001 Best Albums
Brian Morton, Richard CookIn 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.

'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
