Metronome Magazine (or Metronome) was a music-guide magazine published from 1881 until 1961. 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"(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.The magazine closed in 1961.
