This from JazzTimes:

After JazzTimes cleared its collective throat and put down Kenny G¹s summer

concert itinerary, we contacted Adam Mansbach to set the record straight.

Mansbach is the co-author of Elvin Jones' forthcoming memoirs, Different

Drummer (Da Capo).

I remember reading that Michael Shrieve was working on something too. He produced the Bill Frisell w/ Elvin and Dave Holland disc.

Schrieve recorded an organ trio date with Frisell & Wayne Horvitz that came out in 2001 as well, which I really like.

So how many writers are actually working on Jones' autobiography?

I was talking to Bennett Cerf yesterday, and he says that Shrieve is working on Elvin's auto-bigoraphy. It's going to be a coffee table book of color portraits of every car that Elvin's ever owned. As well, there's a special section on cars he's borrowed and/or driven, including the infamous car of Trane's that Elvin wrecked (that specific car is going to be written about by guest author Ashley Kahn, who is entitling the chapter either "A Ride Supreme" or "The Making Of A Wreck Supreme". Mr. Cerf was unable to confirm which it would be.)

Lots more interest there than one might initially suspect. You'd be surprised at the things that have gone on between Elvin and cars!

The book also doubles as a snare drum.

Why did Alex Haley write "The Autobiography of Malcolm X?"

Because he needed to cross the road?

You know why I HATE you Sangrey?? Cuz, I just had the same idea about it being a bio of all his cars, had all these swell Ideas, then bam! Rug pulled from under me!
