READING JAZZ- Edited by Robert Gottlieb

 



























A beautiful collection covering all the greats from 1919 until 1996. A big collection clocking in at over  1000 pages.

Philip Larkin is terribly harsh on Thelonious Monk. 

Stanley Crouch rips into the later Miles Davis as well, not a word held back.

My favourite piece,  "The Poet: Bill Evans by Gene Lees.  Evans is always the favourite.

THE SECRET LIFE OF J.EDGAR HOOVER - Anthony Summers

  A man who abused his position like no other public servant in history.  A vile little man.
