The full text of the New Grove Dictionary of Jazz is now available online through
grovemusic.com. It joins the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians and the
New Grove Dictionary of Opera which have been available online for over two years. Access to
information in all three resources is through the same search box, and articles retrieved from the
Dictionary of Jazz are indicated with a purple "jazz" icon to distinguish them from the other
sources.
The online version of New Grove Jazz is identical to the print version which appeared in its second edition in late 2001. It is a widely respected reference tool containing more than 7500 signed articles written by jazz scholars and authorities. Most articles also contain useful bibliographies and discographies.
