Title: Exhaustive Reference, Frustrating to use
Review: This is an incredible reference, It just plain has a ton of stuff in here. It covers almost everyone in great detail and is a valuable part of my jazz library.but, the book is frustrating to use. I just hate the rating system, it needs something better. Maybe 10 stars instead or something. Nearly everything in here is either 3, 3 1/2 or 4 stars and not everything is the same. Of the many titles rated 4 stars there are radical differences between them. It's just not a very good system.that's about all I can say - it's the best thing out there that I know of but if you want a more comprehensive reference it is just not realistic to expect it all in one book. This is as much as you can get into a book pretty much. It's better to get several different ones and then you'll have a good idea.
