Riassunto

Another title updated in the "New Grove" series in 2001. In three volumes and with 7750 articles, "The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz", second edition is a resource for any serious jazz enthusiast or scholar. Featuring 2750 new entries and 1500 new biographies of musicians who came to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s, this new edition draws on the explosion of jazz research over the past dozen years. In addition, Barry Kernfield and his team have completely revised and updated all entries and have made tens of thousands of corrections throughout. New features include unprecedented coverage of previously underrepresented areas in world jazz, such as Caribbean, South African and Japanese musicians, extended lists of venues world-wide, a selected films and videos section, and the inclusion of URLs in the bibliographies.
