This fourth edition of the dictionary published by the American Society of Composers and Publishers contains the biographies of over 8,000 members along with their chief collaborators, their songs and awards. There is also a list of publisher members.
For jazz standards researchers this edition of the ASCAP Biographical Dictionary contains short biographies of many composers and lyricists who are not included in more contemporary collections. For an even older edition, see ASCAP Biographical Dictionary of Composers, Authors and Publishers (1952), also in the JazzStandards.com bookstore.

The JazzStandards.com bookstore provides you with
a catalog of 200 books associated with the jazz standards.
Organized by category, each entry has an editorial comment to aid
you in your research and guide you in your recreational reading.
The books used to research and develop JazzStandards.com are
listed at the right and the listing may be considered the site bibliography.
The primary focus of these books is not always the jazz standards
per se, so each entry is annotated indicating the book's relevance
to the subject. If there is a book you feel we have overlooked,
please let us know the title and how it supports the research or
recreational study of the jazz standards.
