[Dixielandjazz] Re: storyville publications

[Bill Haesler]

Dear Stan,
Thank you for that information.
I hope that the takeover of Storyville Records will not see it disappear
altogether, as usually happens with jazz labels.
When you mentioned Storyville books, my first reaction was "what books?"
So I googled and came up with the following information which may be of
interest to some DJMLers.
Kind regards,
Bill. 

BOOKS. 
Because of [Emil] Knudsen¹s great interest in jazz history, his other
company JAZZMEDIA has published several books since 1962, such as the
discography JAZZ RECORDS which documents all the jazz records produced from
1942 to 1969. This 11-volume work has for many years been the leading
discographical work concerning this period. When the author Jørgen Grunnet
Jepsen died, it became clear to Knudsen that a revised version bringing the
project considerably more up to date could only be done if a discographer
just as dedicated could be found. The choice fell upon Erik Raben, under
whose expert editing the work has now been in progress for several years.
The first seven volumes are now published. A Miles Davis discography by Jan
Lohmann, a new Chet Baker Discography, The Music of Chesney Henry Baker by
Thorbjørn Sjøgren and a mammoth work by Dr. Klaus Stratemann Duke Ellington
- Day by day and Film by Film have been published in the last few years as
well as Klaus Stratemann¹s latest book ³Louis Armstrong On Film². The
1998/99 season saw 2 new books published: Ray Avery¹s ³Stars of Jazz² and
Bill Russell¹s ³Oh Mr. Jelly² - another mammoth book of the size of the
Ellington book.
