The Working Musician's Dictionary of Terms: The Slang of Pop, Rock, Jazz, Blues and Country by Karl Aranjo

Informational, candid, irreverent and practical, Karl Aranjo's handy dictionary is the first reference of its kind for the contemporary gigging musician. Hundreds of musical slang terms - for pop, rock, jazz, blues and country styles - are defined, as well as business and technical terms anyone might need to know. The dictionary is written in a lively style that isn't exactly your regular, dry text book.
