Description: Richard Cook and Brian Morton's "Penguin Jazz Guide: The History of the Music in 1001 Best Albums" is an indispensible guide to the recordings that every fan should know. Richard Cook and Brian Morton's "Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings" is firmly established as the world's leading guide to the music.
