About

Trumpeter Ernest 'Red' Nichols was an influential bandleader during the heyday of jazz in the Roaring Twenties, who nurtured the talents of such jazz luminaries as Jimmy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, and Glenn Miller. Nichols was also in constant demand as a studio musician, and, as a result, his musical output ranks him among the most prolific jazz musicians in history. This handy one-volume reference supplies jazz scholars, collectors, and fans with a complete, chronological bio-discography to all issued recordings (including compact disc) as well as unissued material, radio and television appearances, concerts, interviews, and privately owned home recordings spanning the period 1942-1965.

Reviews

massive and thorough...should prove to be the definitive discography, of the postwar Nichols, for the foreseeable future...the thoroughness of this work and the cross indexes (song title/musician) will pretty much give enough info for anyone to deduce an approximate date/personnel with just tune titles. A loving effort

impressive...the book will stand on its own merits as one of the finest compilations of the historic record of a jazzman's later life...details are thick...the answers are here...a jazz historian's treasure trove...I hungered for more...a truly worthy record of Red Nichols
