Jazz Anecdotes

Drawing on a rich verbal tradition, bassist and jazz writer Bill Crow has culled stories from many sources to paint fascinating and very human portraits of jazz musicians. Organized around such topics as teaching and learning, life on the road, prejudice and discrimination--Jazz Anecdotes shows the jazz world as it really is. In this second edition, Crow regales us with new stories of such colorful individuals as Benny Goodman, Chet Baker, and Jackie Gleason. With its unique blend of sparkling dialogue and historical and social insight, Jazz Anecdotes offers us a rare glimpse of the personalities who created America's most distinctive music.

Jazz: Research and Pedagogy is the third edition of an annotated bibliography to books, recordings, videos, and websites in the field of jazz. Since the publication of the 2nd edition in 1995, the quantity and quality of books on jazz research, performance, and teaching materials have increased. Although the 1995 book was the most comprehensive annotated jazz bibliography published to that date, several books on research, performance, and teaching materials were omitted. In addition, given the proliferation of new books in all jazz areas since 1995, the need for a new, comprehensive, and annotated reference book on jazz is apparent. Multiply indexed, this book will serve as an excellent tool for librarians, researchers, and scholars in sorting through the massive amount of new material that has appeared in the field over the last decade.
