''Metronome Magazine'' (or ''Metronome'') was a music-guide magazine published from 1881 until 1961.〔 "Dan Morgenstern oral history", Ed Berger, March 2007, webpage (PDF): ( -->Morgenstern.pdf smithsonianjazz-Morgenstern ). 〕 The magazine in its early years catered for musicians in marching and then dance bands, but from the swing era, ''Metronome'' focused primarily on the genre of Jazz music appealing to fans. During the 1940s, the cover title was displayed as ''"Metronome"'' (in a cursive script-style font) with the subtitle words "BANDS · RECORDS · RADIO"〔 "Jazz Studies Online - Jazz Journalism", Columbia University, New York, 2008, web URL: (JazzStudiesO-640 ), Metronome logo image: (Metronome-logo ). 〕 (see Metronome logo image under "References"). Notable writers for the magazine were co-editors Leonard Feather and Barry Ulanov; Miles Davis cited them as the only two white music critics in New York to be able to understand Bebop.〔Miles Davis (1989) ''Autobiography''〕 The magazine closed in 1961. ==Metronome All-Stars Band== Metronome Magazine conducted an annual poll during the years 1939-1961〔 "Metronome All-Stars Band Discography" (overview), Discogs.com, 2009, webpage: (Dcogs ). 〕 to choose the musicians whom their readers considered as the top jazz instrumentalists, for that year, playing each instrument. Often, the ''Metronome'' organization recorded the all-stars on a regular basis, with recording sessions of the bands chosen in 1939-1942, 1945–1950, 1953, and 1956.〔 In many cases, the all-stars group recorded two songs, with short solo performances, from nearly all of the participants.〔 In 1940, ''Metronome'' magazine organized the Metronome All Star Nine, including Harry James, Jack Teagarden, Benny Carter, Jess Stacy and Gene Krupa.〔 "Jazz CDs, Pt. 1 - November 2002", John Henry, Audiophile Audition, AudAud.com, 2002, webpage: ( -->jazz1NOV02.html AA-NOV02 ). 〕 The all-stars band had several name variations: Metronome All Star Nine; Metronome All Stars; Metronome All Stars 1956; The Metronome All-Stars; or Metronome Allstars.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Metronome magazine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
