In this wry, moving memoir completed shortly before his death, one of jazz's great sidemen, W.O. Smith, explores the terrain of modern jazz music through the eyes of one who rubbed shoulders with the legends. Writing about the black intelligentsia of the 1930s and 40s, particularly in Philadelphia and New York City, as well as life on the road during the big band era, this virtuoso of the string bass discusses the influence of such jazz greats as Duke Ellington, Frankie Fairfax, Coleman Hawkins, Fats Waller, Nat 'King' Cole, Bessie Smith & an introduction from his friend Dizzy Gillespie. / With 'B&W' photos. /// This is a 1st edition hardback with its dustjacket in good condition-the dustjackets edges are a little creased&scuffed & the front 'end-papers' are slightly 'foxed'. (319 pages).
