Thanks for sharing.  It really does look like a nice book.  I was disappointed to discover how expensive it would be to buy one considering how long it has been out of print.  I wish some publisher would get interested in a new edition.  My New Grove is long past due for an up date too.  Unfortunately Jazz is not selling well.  Anyway, enjoy your book.

If you get a chance watch the Ken Burns documentary "Jazz" Very enjoyable. I think he spends a bit too much time with Lois Armstrong and give Bill Evans short shrift, but otherwise does a good job otherwise.
