This book is a guide to Polish jazz recordings on CDs. It describes over 1700 discs in a systematic and organized way, with artists’ names arranged alphabetically. It goes often beyond jazz and describes also discs with contemporary classical music or rock.
“There is no other book already published on the subject, certainly nothing of such scope or including such detailed information. Although several books about Polish Jazz have been published in the last decade, none of them concentrate on Jazz recordings and they are mostly concerned with biographical and historical aspects of Polish Jazz. Therefore Mr. Lewenstein’s book is in fact an ideal companion to those books already published.”
Adam Baruch
