Description: If you knew how to play, the chances were better than even that you would sooner or later work with somebody who had worked with Benny Goodman or Duke Ellington or Charlie Parker and who had a tale or two to tell. Unfortunately, far too few of these revealing tales have made their way into the written record of jazz history. In order to preserve some of the rich oral tradition of jazz and to satisfy curiosity about the lives and personalities of the great jazz musicians, Gene Lees started the Jazzletter, a monthly journal about jazz and American popular music. Waiting for Dizzy, the third book quarried out of his Jazzletter essays, portrays in unprecedented and knowing detail the world of jazz as it really is.
