Yanow's Magnum Opus
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Mr. Yanow is my favorite jazz recording reviewer. It's quite evident that he has spent his life studying and learning to appreciate jazz. To cap that off, he actually writes well. Most recording review books are arranged by performer. This "text" is arranged by year of recording. It makes it a lot easier to place recordings you already have in context. Unfortunately, this can lead to more purchases. The only faults I have with this tome are that it is heavy and, as the years pass, some of the reviewed recordings are harder and harder to find. If you look at the purchase price of the book as a down payment on the recordings it will lead you to buy, it's still worth it.
