The book is published by Oxford University Press.[1] The book features a range of jazz standards in alphabetical order,[2] from Broadway show tunes by the likes of George Gershwin and Irving Berlin, to the standards of esteemed jazz musicians such as Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Wayne Shorter and Charles Mingus. In the book Gioia has recommendations for definitive covers of each standard to listen to, over 2000 in total.[3] Each jazz standard entry in the book contains descriptive text and selected discography.
