"The history of jazz on record is not the same as the history of jazz. The music itself is adventurous, improvisatory, of-the-moment, alive; recordings are fixed, and the recording process has often placed limitations on the music and the way it is performed. Yet the records are what survive. And the greatest jazz records have had a profound impact on shifting styles and musical movements, from the swing/big band years through bebop, free jazz and fusion. JAZZ ON RECORD explores how records, the recording process, and the record business have changed the shape of jazz. Starting with the early 78s and ending with today's compact disks, this absorbing study looks at the recording activity and landmark disks of key jazz artists, including the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and the more recent leaders like Bobby McFerrin and Wynton Marsalis. Supplementing the text is a bibliography & index, as well as a discography of seminal recorded works, so that casual jazz listeners---as well as serious record buffs---can build a comprehensive collection."
