Penguin Guide To Jazz On CD The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD is now firmly established as the world's leading guide to recorded jazz, a mine of fascinating information and a source of insightful - often wittily trenchant - criticism. For this expanded fifth edition, Richard Cook and Brian Morton have reassessed each artist's entry and updated the text to incorporate thousands of additional CDs. The result is an endlessly browsable companion that will prove required reading for aficionados and jazz novices alike.

- artist biographies included for the first time
- full line-ups given
- recording information provided, along with details of labels and catalogue numbers
- authoritative critical rating offered throughout
- full index of artists

"The entry on each artist reads like an intriguing blend of good liner notes and sharp critical assessment. 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

"… Jazzophiles will love flipping through this guide at random to see how their favourite albums rate with Cook and Morton, and to hear more about those they might consider acquiring" - BILLBOARD

But why are the page numbers on the spine side of each page!!
