From Birdland to Broadway: Scenes from a Jazz Life [Paperback] Review

From Birdland to Broadway: Scenes from a Jazz Life [Paperback]I was never gripped by Bill Crow as a bass player. As an author and story writer however, his books are one of the most engaging I havecome across amongst the plethora of writings that exist on the development of this great art form.Bill Crow has a natural gift for narration.He tells you all straight from the heart, of the lives and travails of musicians who one has heard so much but never got close to.His anecdotes brings them closer; as if they were living and breathing right next to you.And all, with a constant undercurrent of humour. He seeks no sympathy and there isno deprecation.Yet, one is saddened, sometimes angered, at the circumstances of the time. I ended uploving even more, all those musicians whose names are now etched in memory. I bought more copies of the bookfor my friends once I was done.
