Saxophonist and band leader Harry Golds memoir of the early years of jazz in Britain. Gold s vividly detailed reminiscences of his eight decades as a working musician conjure up lost worlds: London s East End in the 1920s, the glamourous high-society life of great dance bands in the interwar years, and life on the road with his own jazz band in the post-war decades. His musical experiences stretch from seeing the Original Dixieland Jazz Band in 1919 to touring in East Germany with his Pieces of Eight in the 1980s. His story is populated by royalty, gangsters, fearsome landladies and Irish publicans, but above all by the dozens of jazz and dance band musicians whose talents, eccentricities and often anarchic humour he celebrates. With 'B&W' photos & a 'preface' by John Dankworth. /// This is a 1st edition paperback in near to fine condition. (207 pages & 16 pages of introduction & 16 pages of photos).

Review
a very entertaining and long overdue chronicle of the wide ranging achievements of a remarkable man. -- Jazz Journal International
above all Gold, Doubloons and Pieces of Eight is a vivid picture of life on the road through much of the jazz century. -- Jazz Rag
an enjoyable read, well edited ... and a cut above most musician autobiographies. -- Jazzwise
reading it is almost like listening to this incredible nonagenarian chatting over a glass, or two, of Irish whiskey. -- Jazz at Ronnie Scotts
