Preface by Vinicius de Morais: "De Jorge Guinle posso dizer que ninguém no Brasil, e muito pouca gente no mundo, possui a sua cultura e o seu cabedal jassístico. Já em Nova York e Los Angeles, onde por várias vêzes saímos juntos à cata de bom jazz, pude sentir-lhe nas conversas, no trato com os músicos negros, entre os quais temos grandes amigos, e na contensão de autêntico 'cat' com que ouvia os números, a real paixão dêsse homem delicado pela música áspera e sofrida com que os negros americanos deram ao mundo uma das mais importantes contribuições culturais de que há notícia, no campo da música foldlórica e popular. Size: 19 x 14 cm. 0.0. Signed by Author(s).
