Hardback. Thomas "Fats" Waller was a legendary stride pianist, a wildly entertaining comedic singer, and the composer of such classic melodies as "Honeysuckle Rose," "Ain't Misbehavin'," and hundreds more. This is the intimate, behind-the-scenes story of his exuberant life, as told by his son, Maurice Waller. The public knew him as a charming, rascally, and effervescent showman. Friends like Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Irving Berlin, and George Gershwin knew him as a serious piano stylist and composer. Maurice Waller reveals the rarely seen side of Fats as a family man, struggling to juggle domestic affairs with the demands of being one of the era's busiest jazz men. From his earliest days as a child prodigy to his wild nights playing Harlem rent parties to his appearances on stages around the world and his eventual commercial success, it's all here. Few stories capture the frenetic energy of the age quite as well as the life story of this rollicking, hard living jazz icon. 1978. First UK edition. A near fine copy only marked by light age tanning to the edges. No d/w.

Soft cover. Condition: New. XV-384 p. : ill. ; 30 cm. This work explains the rise of social and political complexity in the area of the confluence of the Shashi and Limpopo Rivers in southern Africa between around AD 900 and 1300. In doing this, the author refinines the archaeological sequence of the area, in particular ceramic data, and applies and tests theoretical constructs relating to the relationshAs between ethnicity, class, social and political complexity and material culture. The theoretical emphasis of the study is on modelling ethnicity, class and social and political complexity at a more qualitative scale than previous work in the area, and therefore represents a step forward in southern African archaeology.
