New Orleans and Jazz History

[Rabshakeh]

I've gone for the Africa and the Blues one first. Will try the Jazz Transatlantic one after.

I've always been interested in a good book on these two subjects. Most books are pretty terrible. The crits and write ups of this sound great.

But, I just checked the Amazon listing and there's a five star review describing as 'indispensable' from a certain Allen Lowe 😄

Synopsis makes it sound fascinating 
 

oh; hmmmm. Maybe I read that one. I will say that there's a lot I don't remember about that time (had just finished chemo and radiation for the first time, was sleeping for about an hour at a time, lost about 40 pounds and didn't eat solid food for two months). But I have no memory of that. I wonder where I put that book.

I ordered it anyway
