This impressive compilation offers a nearly complete listing of sound
recordings made by American minority artists prior to mid-1942.
Organized by national group or language, the seven-volume set cites
primary and secondary titles, composers, participating artists,
instrumentation, date and place of recording, master and release
numbers, and reissues in all formats. Because of its clear arrangements
and indexes, it will be a unique and valuable tool for music and ethnic
historians, folklorists, and others.
Winner of the ARSC Award for Excellence in the Field of Recorded
Country, Folk, or Ethnic Music, 1991.
