      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.
