The Penguin Jazz Guide
Author: Brian MortonPublisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0141959002
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 1113
Book Description
The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings is firmly established as the world's leading guide to recorded jazz, a mine of fascinating information and a source of insightful - often wittily trenchant - criticism. This is something rather different: Brian Morton (who taught American history at UEA) has picked out the 1000 best recordings that all jazz fans should have and shows how they tell the history of the music and with it the history of the twentieth century. He has completely revised his and Richard Cook's entries and reassessed each artist's entry for this book. The result is an endlessly browsable companion that will prove required reading for aficionados and jazz novices alike. 'It's the kind of book that you'll yank off the shelf to look up a quick fact and still be reading two hours later' Fortune 'Part jazz history, part jazz Karma Sutra with Cook and Morton as the knowledgeable, urbane, wise and witty guides ... This is one of the great books of recorded jazz; the other guides don't come close' Irish Times

Pages : 266
Book Description
Music Collection Development and Management in the Digital Age offers both a theoretical context and practical approaches to the issues facing today’s music collection builders and managers. In this exciting new book, Kirstin Dougan Johnson engages readers with many of the core responsibilities involved with music collections, in both music library and general library settings. The author examines the whole of music collections, incorporating into that vision guidance on the principles and tasks involved with collection building, acquisitions, management, and assessment. Details include music formats and publishing, music identification and discoverability, the context of music collections and the tasks involved in building and scoping them, diversity and inclusion in music collections, budgets and acquisitions workflows, pre- and post-order tasks, collection management and assessment, and future directions for collection development in music. With its focus on issues related to music scores and media in physical and electronic forms, Music Collection Development and Management in the Digital Age directly addresses subject librarians who select music materials in academic libraries. The volume also serves music librarians in other settings, such as public and conservatory libraries. All in all, Music Collection Development and Management in the Digital Age is an essential reference for all who work with music collections, whether in music libraries specifically, general library collections with music holdings, or centralized library acquisitions departments.
