[78-L] Book review request

[Taylor Bowie]

Wonderful book,  I thought.  Takes a look at many of the pioneer white jazz 
players,  including many lesser-known,  and shows how they contributed to 
the evolution of the music,  and didn't just copy what earlier black players 
had accomplished.

There is a well-known local jazz "authority" who refused to read the book on 
the grounds that it was "racist"...an absurd and ignorant claim.   The book 
is well-written,  informative,  and is as exciting as a good novel.

I bought it new for $35 or so.  I think it's in paperback and you can always 
find used copies on line at  www.alibris.com  or also www.abebooks.com . 
You can easily search those sites by title and author (Sudhalter).
