Storyville was a British jazz magazine that ran from 1965 to 2003 featuring jazz history, discography, and record trading.[1] It was published six times a year from October 1965 to December 1986 (issues 1 to 128), then quarterly from March 1987 to June 1995 (issues 129 to 162), then four biennial volumes were published until 2003.
Storyville was founded by Laurie Wright (né Lawrence D. Wright; 1929–2010).[2] The publication has been acclaimed for containing a wealth of early historical material on jazz.[3] And although Storyville was not officially a peer-reviewed journal — in part because, other than music librarians, few jazz scholars existed in academic research in 1965 — it was, nonetheless, peer-reviewed in reality by well-informed jazz enthusiasts, discographers, musicologists, and the like.[2]
Separately from the magazine, Storyville Publications published books about jazz, notably discographies. Included were Wright's own works, the standard discographies, two volumes of Eric Townley's Tell Your Story; A Dictionary of Jazz and Blues Recordings 1917–1950,Tom Lord's bio-discography, Clarence Williams (1976), and several biographical and autobiographical memoirs of historic musicians. The last of these, published under Wright's name, was an autobiography, Trombone Man: Preston Jackson's Story (2005), after which ill-health forced Wright's retirement.[2]
