Wisconsin Jazz Musicians
|
Wisconsin Big Bands
|
This page lists books that include information about many different
Jazz and Big Band recording artists and groups.
- Opera Bibliography -
Books which contain information about multiple artists in all other genres
of music can be found on the
Folk Music Bibliography page. Books about
specific musicians,
Bunny Berigan,
Ben Sidran
and others can be found on the
Single Musician Bibliography page.
Note: This is not meant to be a complete list of every Jazz and Big
Band book that exists. I leave that to others such as
Eric ter Bals.
My list is only those I own and those I have actually seen in local
Wisconsin libraries.
I have started indexing every Wisconsin musician
that appears in these books. If I have no personal access to a book so I
can Index it, it won't be listed here.
