About This Item
"Volume 1. A-Kar" 928 pages "Volume 2. Kar-Z" [929]-1968 pages with index. Octavo (8 1/4" x 6 3/4") recased in original publisher's spine and covers with gilt lettering to spine with "Jazz Records A-Z 1897-1931 Index" bound in original publisher's wrappers. Revised edition, first published in 1969.
This set of books covers in the fullest possible detail all known recordings made in the years between 1897 and 1942 in the ragtime, jazz and swing idioms, including also a number of dance records of the kind described at the time of their original issue as "hot." For the most part only records made by American and British musicians are listed, as with few exceptions (such as Django Reinhardt), European, Australian and South American artists do not mean very much outside their native lands. Excellent work on some of these has been done already by radiographers such as Horst Lange (Germany), Giuseppe Barazetta (italy) and Mike Sutcliffe (Australia).
Condition: Rebound with the original spine laid on with red covers laid on. Previous owner's notes and checks marks in pencil to margins. Some pages dogeared else a good set.
