It might be helpful to look at the list of books and journal articles

compiled by Robert Reisner on "The Literature of Jazz: A Preliminary

Bibliography." Reisner's work was published in three successive

issues of the Bulletin of The New York Public Library, volume 58,

numbers 3-5, March-May 1954. It contains both U.S. and foreign works.

A number of the works date from the 1920s and earlier.

Does anyone know of a dictionary or compendium of 1920s (Jazz Age) slang?

Thanks.
