StLJN jazz site of the week: Jazz Discography Project

The StLJN jazz site of the week is the Jazz Discography Project, a true labor of love that includes detailed information on the recorded legacies of more than 50 of the most significant musicians in modern jazz, from Cannonball Adderley to Mal Waldron. Recordings are listed both by session date and location and by the name of the album or albums issued, and the site also includes information on the catalogs of a couple dozen of the most significant record labels of the post-World War II era.

If you're the sort of mildly (or even extremely) obsessive jazz fan who enjoys knowing stuff like the fact that Miles Davis' first-ever recording session was with Rubberlegs Williams and Herbie Fields' band at WOR Studios in NYC on April 24, 1945, you'll probably enjoy checking out the Jazz Discography Project.
