The World of Count Basie by Stanley Dance Pdf
Dance is one of the most proficient and consistent jazz writers practicing today. In this book he follows the formula he developed in writing about the milieu of Hines, Ellington and others. It consists of numerous tape-recorded and edited interviews with musicians and vocalists associated with Basie and each gets to tell his own story. Many overlap and there are interesting confirmations and disputes over details.
