Listening to Prestige: Vol. 1 1949-1953

Tad Richards has created a unique chronicle of Prestige Records and jazz in the 1950s and '60s: part history, part reminiscence, part music appreciation. This is Volume 1 of a projected series, covering virtually every tune recorded in every recording session for Prestige from 1949-1953. The unique portraits of jazz musicians throughout the book are also by Tad Richards.
