The Oxford Companion to Popular Music by Peter Gammond
From Offenbach to Scott Joplin, from Louis Armstrong to The Who, this guide covers all major strands within Anglo-American popular music over the last 150 years. It features operetta to blues and folk, with articles on history, style, performers and composers, instruments, songs and shows.
Author, music critic, artist and musician, Peter Gammond was born in Northwich, Cheshire in 1925, inheriting his musical interests from his father who was a cellist. He joined the Decca Record Company in 1952 as a music editor leaving in 1960 to become a freelance writer, critic and author. He has written over forty books on jazz, ragtime and the music-hall, including The Oxford Companion to Popular Music, and, on the classical side, books on Schubert, Mozart, Offenbach and record collecting.
