An Online Encyclopedia of Jazz Artists!
Submitted by Jazz Note SDP
This is what Al Gore invented the internet for! Jazz.com is hosting an Encyclopedia of Jazz Artists, edited by Lewis Porter. I discovered it about twenty minutes ago, but it looks like a dream come true. Long entries on every jazzman I ever heard of.

Memories of Duke is a great work. Joe Pass is on guitar, Jack Wilson on piano, Ray Brown on bass, and Frank Severino on drums. Love it or leave it.
