A guide to the jazz records of the classic era, from the first long-players to 1967, record by record, on sixteen labels: the sleeve, the tracks in record and session order, the sessions behind them, who played on each track, and, for some, notes to read while it plays.

Built from several sources and checked against each other: the sessions from the Jazz Discography Project, release dates, running orders and credits from Wikipedia and Wikidata, links to Discogs, MusicBrainz and AllMusic, and our own research. Every page lists its sources. Sleeves are the labels', shown to identify the records; photos of the players are public domain or freely licensed, from Wikimedia Commons and the Library of Congress, each credited on the credits page.
