DownBeat is an American music magazine devoted to "jazz, blues and beyond", the last word indicating its expansion beyond the jazz realm that it covered exclusively in previous years.  It is named after the "downbeat" in music, also called "beat one", or the first beat of a musical measure.

It was first published in 1934.

This lot of 5 include the following issues.  See the photos for more specific table of contents information.
