| Women
in Jazz by
Jan Leder (Compiler)
"This
discography is successful in its attempt to `present a complete
picture of women instrumentalists' recording activity from 1913
to 1968.' Jan Leder also shows the significant contributions made
by women in jazz and their involvement playing jazz since its
beginnings. The book contains two parts: Discography of Women
in Jazz and Collective Section. The first section arranges names
alphabetically by name of player with works arranged chronologically
for each player. The second section is a chronological listing
of recordings with two or more players. It gives date, place,
name of orchestra, director, performers, recording titles, and
company. Index of performers. An excellent resource on the subject."
