About this product
Product Information
Bill Crow, journeyman bass player, superb storyteller, and author of the successful Jazz Anecdotes, here narrates many moving and delightful tales of the pioneers of modern jazz whom he played with and was befriended by. This is an enthralling account of four decades of a life in jazz, from Crow's first days in New York City as a wet-behind-the-ears twenty-two year old from Washington State to his days as a professional jazz bassist playing with some of the greatest musicians the world has ever known. In a humorous and often intimate anecdotal style, he recounts this exciting era, an explosive time when the intermingling of two generations of jazz musicians--classic masters like Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and Benny Goodman, and the new school of jazz genius like Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Thelonious Monk--created inimatable sounds that dazzled the ear. Whether relating stories of his 1955 trio with Marian McPartland (named "Small Group of the Year" by Metronome), or playing with the Gerry Mulligan quartet at venues like Storyville in Boston and Harlem's Apollo Theater (where they appeared with Dinah Washington), or his tour of the Soviet Union playing with Benny Goodman (whose constant mistreatment made the band miserable but provided some good stories), Crow presents a marvelous portrait of the jazz world with an "insider's knowledge and a musical pen."

Reviews
"Providing some fascinating social history, [Crow] has written a book of intimate and entertaining vignettes about some modern jazz masters."--Library Journal, "This is really a book about the 'jazz life' more than about the music per se....These narratives are a healthy dose of stories about the jazz free-lance musicians' life and music."--Dick Weissman"In From Birdland to Broadway, Crow shares insightful anecdotes from his long career and writes in a style that's as relaxed, friendly, and straight ahead as a Mulligan baritone sax solo....He never skimps on the humorous asides and telling details. What's more, he renders most of the technical stuff, such as flugelhornist Clark Terry's method of rotary breathing, understandable to even the most unrhythmic or tonedeaf reader. Bop lives in Crow'scolorful account."--Cleveland Plain Dealer"Providing some fascinating social history, [Crow] has written a book of intimate and entertaining vignettes about some modern jazz masters."--Library Journal, "In From Birdland to Broadway, Crow shares insightful anecdotes from hislong career and writes in a style that's as relaxed, friendly, and straightahead as a Mulligan baritone sax solo....He never skimps on the humorous asidesand telling details.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
