[78-L] Book review request

[Valerie Langfield]

Opinion seconded. My copy is hardback; I see from
www.bookfinder.com
(an umbrella site for many secondhand book sites, including ABE and 
Alibris) that it is readily available. I bought my copy from the 
publisher, whom I found most helpful, given that I was buying from the 
UK.

Recommended!

Cheers,

Valerie Langfield

>Wonderful book,  I thought.  Takes a look at many of the pioneer white jazz

>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

>You can easily search those sites by title and author (Sudhalter).
