During most of its seventy year history, the British weekly Melody Maker was considered the bible of not just pop and rock music, but the jazz scene as well. Over the years its writers interviewed virtually every great jazz singer, from Billie Holiday to Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett to Peggy Lee. Complementing exclusive interviews with twenty of the greatest song stylists of the century - plus brief biographies and details of key recordings - Jazz Singers includes pictures from some of the world's greatest music photographers including William Claxton, Bob Willoughby, Herman Leonard, Val Wilmer and David Redfern.
