Trumpeter Ernest 'Red' Nichols was an influential bandleader during the
heyday of jazz in the Roaring Twenties, who nurtured the talents of such
jazz luminaries as Jimmy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, and Glenn Miller.
Nichols was also in constant demand as a studio musician, and, as a
result, his musical output ranks him among the most prolific jazz
musicians in history. This handy one-volume reference supplies jazz
scholars, collectors, and fans with a complete, chronological
bio-discography to all issued recordings (including compact disc) as
well as unissued material, radio and television appearances, concerts,
