Most printed jazz materials are easier to locate by searching with subject headings (see below) rather than browsing by call number. A limited number of jazz
scores
can be found in M1366. Some volumes
of transcribed jazz solos can be found
in the areas for specific instruments, but are not cataloged separately from non-jazz scores:
- Piano: M22
- Clarinet: M73
- Trumpet: M85-86
- Saxophone: M105-106, 108
- Guitar: M125, 128
History of Jazz: ML3505-3509, ML3561 (Lied Main Stacks)
History of Ragtime: ML3530 (Lied Main Stacks)
History of Big Bands: ML3518 (Lied Main Stacks)
Jazz discography: ML156.4
Note: Subject headings for almost any instrument can include "(Jazz)", "(Ragtime)" or "(Boogie woogie)"
as a trailing qualifier
(for example,
Piano music (Jazz)). For more comprehensive results, perform a
keyword search
including the term
jazz along with
other keywords.
