Title: The great jazz and pop vocal albums
Description: "Each of the fifty-seven albums discussed here captures the artist at a high point, if not at the expected moment, of her or his career. The individual cuts are evaluated, the sequencing explicated, the songs and songwriters heralded; ancedotes abound  of how songs were born and how artists and producers collaborated. And in appraising each album, Friedwald balances his own opinions with those of musicians, listeners, and critics. A monumental achievement, 'The Great Jazz and Pop Vocal Albums' is an essential book for lovers of American jazz and popular music." --dust jacket flap.
