This volume contains a particularly broad range of articles, both
technical and non-technical, which should appeal to both the jazz fan
and the scholar. ARJS 10 introduces a new feature: "Jazz Fiction: A
Bibliography from Nonjazz Journals," which identifies many important
jazz publications that might otherwise elude researchers. Researchers
will find "Using e-commerce Music Sites for Discographical Research" a
useful survey of Internet resources. The Louis Armstrong Centennial is
heralded by a warm reminiscence by Dan Morgenstern and a gallery of rare
photos from the files of the Institute of Jazz Studies. Musicological
treatments include articles on McCoy Tyner, Bill Evans, Charlie Parker,
and Jimmy Smith. Several articles examine Thelonious Monk's unique body
of work from different perspectives. In addition, there are reviews of
three recent works about this singular figure. Other book reviews cover
such important contributions as Scott DeVeaux's The Birth of Bebop and
Ingrid Monson's Saying Something: Jazz Improvisation and Interaction.
" The 'Stardust' File" traces the evolution of one of the music's most
enduring standards. Finally, "Busted" tells the full story of Gene
Krupa's arrest in 1943.
