Jazz music is always developing. Jazz musicians are developing also, some as a result of changing fads and others by osmosis from the other musicians around them. It was this osmosis.
This website is designed to be searched. You can search for all Jazz Musicians by name and see which albums they have performed on and the other jazz musicians that they have worked with.
Jazz - The Essential Companion by Ian Carr, Digby Fairweather and Brian Priestley
A good book for researching individual jazz players and their lives. Short biographies and influences provide insights into the world of jazz. Influence, especially, is an essential part of jazz and this book offers progressive links to the people who have played together and so on.
