Title: Not Very Useful At All
Review: This book should be re-titled "Howard Blumenthal's Personal CD Collection". The artists that he lists are only a handful of jazz giants and innovators (he lists benny green as being one of the 100 greats, without a mention about Scott Joplin!). The selections do not contain a personnel listing (a must when it comes to jazz music), and there are a number of inaccurate facts (i.e. naming jelly roll morton's 1926 band as being the Red Hot Chili Peppers, a punk/funk group of the 80/90's. the 1926 band was the Red Hot Peppers.) While this may appear as nit-picking, it still makes the book a minor amongst the other greats (see: the history of jazz, Ted Gioia). Get the Penguin Guide instead.
