Help with early jazz.

Posted by LarBo (A) on June 26, 2004 at 11:34:26

My wife really enjoys early jazz (I like it, she LOVES it), but neither of us knows much about it (e.g. various artists, recordings, etc. etc.). We've mostly heard the music on weekly 'early jazz' shows on some of the local jazz stations (KSDS in San Diego and KJZZ in Long Beach), and on the Riverwalk show that plays on some NPR stations. I'm not up on jazz history (would like to know more), but I believe the music I'm talking about comes from the 30s and early 40s, though it predates 'jump' and 'swing'.

I'd like to learn more about different artists and recordings from this era. Can anyone direct me to a good website or print resource for this? Ideally it'd be a website with some sound samples since I doubt that CDUniverse or CDNow are going to have samples of old recordings like these (if they even carry them at all).

Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks and have a good weekend.
