The JazzStandards.com bookstore
provides you with a catalog of over 120 books associated
with the jazz standards. Organized by category,
each entry has an editorial comment to aid you in
your research and guide you in your recreational
reading.
The books used to research and develop JazzStandards.com
are listed at the right and the listing may be considered
the site bibliography.
The primary focus of these books is not always
the jazz standards per se, so each entry is annotated
indicating the book's relevance to the subject.
If there is a book you feel we have overlooked,
please let us know the title and how it supports
the research or recreational study of the jazz standards.
