RICHARD COOK'S JAZZ ENCYCLOPEDIA is at once a rivetingly opinionated A to Z of every major figure from Louis Armstrong to John Zorn; a clear guide to the various techniques and styles, ranging from boogie woogie to scat singing; and a witty dictionary of terms, whether explaining the meaning of ghost bands, harmolodics or vocalese."
