"With more than 900 hot clubs, cool joints, landmarks and legends, from Boogie-Woogie to Bop and beyond. This is a great travel guide, but it should also be viewed as an important historical resource, since so much of the material about landmarks, local history, the clubs, and the people who run them has never appeared in any other book." "A great guide for music lovers.." "Even the most seasoned jazz fan has something to learn from Christiane Bird, who has left no stone unturned in her quest for information, practical and arcane. It's great fun to browse in even if you don't plan to travel." A very good book, read and a great price too! *3BC4
