The Oxford Companion to Australian Jazz is the first attempt to combine a comprehensive analysis of the development of jazz in Australia with biographical accounts of those who have contributed to that development. In addition to around 300 entries on musicians, bands, and venues, and more than 150 photographs (most of which are published for the first time), there are longer entries and essays on specialist record labels, broadcasting, regional characteristics, and a history of the evolution of attitudes to jazz in Australia.
