Featuring 583 essays
that vary in length from 500 to 2,000 words and have been written by critics,
professors of popular culture, and experts on various genres of current music,
Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Popular Musicians since 1990 is a companion
to the six-volume Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians: Centennial
Edition (2000). While the Centennial Edition focused on classical music, there
is extensive coverage in the new set of contemporary rock, pop, country,
hip-hop and R & B. Popular musicians from other genres are also treated,
among them Danny Elfman, the Chieftains, Yo-Yo Ma, Wynton Marsalis, and Stephen
Sondheim.
The writing style is refreshing in its accessibility to a broad range of
readers.
