just saw this via Jazz Wax (a blog I've been enjoying a lot lately). Anyone have this yet?

Here's a link to Marc's blog. As I've said several times in the past, if you're a jazz fan, or a fan of music in general, you should be reading this on a daily basis. In this piece he mentions the upcoming biography of Norman Granz. I'm looking forward to that.

I love all Ella. Having said that, this is not amongst her best.

That would be Tad Hershorn's book, which has been in the works for a long time. Glad to hear that it's still on its way; here's the Amazon link.

Hope that October 2011 release date will prove to be true. It's been a very long wait for that book!

Same for Peter Pullman's book on Bud Powell which does not seem to be nearing a release date
