As music columnist for The Nation, Gene Santoro has established himself as an important new critical voice, able to write well on a broad spectrum of popular music and jazz without losing touch with the cutting edge of today's music scene. About Nat "King" Cole, Santoro comments: "adjectives can't describe the swinging, ingratiating self-confidence laced with tenderness that colors Nat "King" Cole's singing. His baritone/tenor is so airy and elemental, so palpably physical, it invites you in, then surrounds you glowingly..." And on the highly successful rock band Living Colour, Santoro is no less evocative: "hardcore metal raveups slam into bluesy ballads and psychedelicized pop, lilting Caribbean inflections collide with hiphop scrambles of prerecorded material and touches of funk."

Description:
"Volume 1. A-Kar" 928 pages "Volume 2. Kar-Z" [929]-1968 pages with index. Octavo (8 1/4" x 6 3/4") recased in original publisher's spine and covers with gilt lettering to spine with "Jazz Records A-Z 1897-1931 Index" bound in original publisher's wrappers. Revised edition, first published in 1969.
This set of books covers in the fullest possible detail all known recordings made in the years between 1897 and 1942 in the ragtime, jazz and swing idioms, including also a number of dance records of the kind described at the time of their original issue as "hot." For the most part only records made by American and British musicians are listed, as with few exceptions (such as Django Reinhardt), European, Australian and South American artists do not mean very much outside their native lands. Excellent work on some of these has been done already by radiographers such as Horst Lange (Germany), Giuseppe Barazetta (italy) and Mike Sutcliffe (Australia).
