If you are a fan of jazz – and especially if you dig its earlier days – then you will enjoy Jazz Anecdotes.  It is packed with amazing stories of the great jazz figures and their doings; fun engaging intriguing and plenty food for thought.  Great nightstand reading. RECOMMENDED!   Originally published in 1990, we just turned up a clean, but well read second hand copy of the softcover edition in the archives. It is clearly used/read and is a little worse for wear, but there is NO writing, NO underlining, NO highlighting in either; also, NO tears (bult there is some creasing in the cover and a few interior pages), NO stains. So, DEAL!   You can jump right in and read a bunch of online, HERE.
