Celebrating the lives of the greatest artists in jazz and blues history.

The Encyclopedia of Jazz & Blues introduces you to the innovators and performers of these two great musical styles. Every musical genre has been touched by or has turned to the blues for inspiration and innovation, and in the process the blues has evolved, introducing fresh sounds to a musical style steeped in tradition. Jazz has always been different things to different people: swing, be-bop, fusion, traditional, ragtime, and dixie. Through the lives of the unforgettable performers, composers, and arrangers, we recognise their genius and applaud their dedication. With fascinating biographical information and analysis of each musician's technique and contribution to the music, this is the ultimate hall of fame.
