The 2500 entries contain the important composers and lyricists, their biographies, principal works, dates and facts. In addition to the alphabetical listings, members are listed by birthplace, birthday, and residence, and there is a section listing publishers.
For jazz standards researchers this old edition of the ASCAP Biographical Dictionary of Composers contains short biographies of many composers and lyricists who are not included in more contemporary collections.
This book is produced with the cooperation of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers and is edited by Daniel I. McNamara.
