Introducing The JAZZ Discography CD-ROM by Tom Lord.
The JAZZ Discography CD-ROM is a virtually complete catalog of all genres of jazz ever released on 78s, 45s, LPs
and CDs. Information is listed by bandleader, in chronological order, accurately describing each recording session
with all personnel, instruments played, tunes recorded, recording location and date, matrix and record company release
numbers.
The Jazz Discography CD-ROM allows you to:
Search and find full details on specific recording sessions by any bandleader, musician or tune.
Perform searches by individual leader, musician or tune to find specific recording sessions in any of these
categories.
Search individual sidemen for recordings issued under their own names. Multiple searches of up to 3 musicians
and 3 tunes can be performed simultaneously.
Search for any musician playing with a specific bandleader to find sessions for a specific sideman recording
with a specific bandleader (e.g. Ben Webster playing with Duke Ellington).
Verify the accuracy of LP and CD recording information by checking the accuracy of the discographical data
published on album and CD covers.
Check CD re-issues of original LPs to determine whether they contain additional tracks and to eliminate the chance
of purchasing an album you already own.
Find other versions or arrangements of favorite tunes by searching for all recordings of any particular tune.
Print up to 50 recording sessions at one time of any search selection, including indexes. (Mac users please note:
OS X operating system is required for printing).
The CD-ROM also contains an extensive bibliography of almost 500 other jazz discographies, presented alphabetically
by author and by musician.It can be read directly from the CD or loaded onto your hard drive for even faster access.
