Synopsis:
First published in 1984 and reissued to coincide withthe publication of the second volume, this selection of the 250 best jazz records traces the earliest roots of the music to the beginnings of the modern jazz era. Volume One's focus is on LP collections of 78 rpm originals and nearly every significant musician--both familiar and obscure--of early 20th-century jazz is listed. For each record listed, full details of personnel, recording dates and locations are provided.

Starts with the pre-1920 and 1920s precursors including the Savannah Syncopators and numerous jug bands and piano rags. The short final chapter is called "The Transition to Modern Jazz," featuring "Hot Lips" Page, Red Norvo with Charles Mingus, Roy Eldridge, Charlie Parker, etc. (The modern bop era to be forthcoming in Vol. II.) 595 pp. including Index.
