Lot's of good, fun information about life as jazz player in the 40's and 50's.... particularly were interesting stories about Condon's in NY. Anne (IMHO) was a very gracious and CLASSY lady who accomplished miraclse in preserving a jazz treasure - Wild Bill. Sorry we lost her last year. She deserves lot's of recognition and credit.<BR>
<BR>
Some great stories... some good music from Codon's ... just plain enjoyable.<BR>

PS - I have always thought that someone sitting down and interviewing the "old-timers" of jazz and capturing the stories and day-to-day antecdotes of "life as a jazz musician" in that era, would make for an interesting book/video.... These stories must abound in the musician lounges on the festival circuit. Someone better get busy before it is too late.<BR>
