Reviews

Lees, well-known as a music critic and songwriter in America, met many of the great names in jazz in its comforting depths. Here he draws on his close acquaintanceship with some of them - Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw, Woody Herman, among others - to produce a series of entertaining articles about the men and their music. Lees is a seasoned reporter with an extensive knowledge of jazz and most of his subjects are colourful enough to make the book enjoyable reading even for those who know little about the music
