On the surface, More Important Than the Music is an esoteric book, but Bruce D. Epperson has successfully managed to breathe life into the subject, weaving a story that opens up the field to a broader base of interest. He deals in fine detail with the origins and development of jazz discography, providing fascinating personal background on the major figures as well as addressing foundational issues such as plagiarism. A major contribution to jazz studies. (Eric Charry, Wesleyan University)
