When jazz musicians get together, they often delight one another with stories        about the great, or merely remarkable, players and singers they've worked with. One        good story leads to another until someone says, "e;Somebody ought to wrie these down!"e;        With Jazz Anecdotes, somebody finally has. Drawing on a rich verbal tradition,        bassist and jazz writer Bill Crow has culled stories from a wide variety of sources,        including interviews, biographies and a remarkable oral history collection, which        resides at the Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University, to paint fascinating        and very human portraits of jazz musicians. Organized around general        topics--teaching and learning, life on the road, prejudice and discrimination, and        the importance of a good nickname--Jazz Anecdotes shows the jazz world as it really        is. In this fully updated edition, which contains over 150 new anecdotes and new        topics like Hiring and Firing, Crow regales us with new stories of such jazz greats        as Benny Goodman, Chet Baker, Ravi Coltrane, Buddy Rich and Paul Desmond. He offers        extended sections on old favorites--Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins        and Lester Young, and the fabulous Eddie Condon, who seems to have lived his entire        life with the anecdotist in mind. With its unique blend of sparkling dialogue and        historical and social insight, Jazz Anecdotes will delight anyone who loves a good        story. It offers a fresh perspective on the joys and hardships of a musician's life        as well as a rare glimpse of the personalities who created America's most        distinctive music.
