Thanks to Don Foster. Without his gentle guidance, my musical tastes would have stalled with the sounds from the swing era. Don opened broad vistas that exposed me to the works of Django Reinhardt, Jelly Roll Morton, Coleman Hawkins, and many of the artists mentioned in this book. Thanks to Richard Roy Miller’s generous transcribing expertise, my old manuscripts and faded clippings were transferred to computer disks, from which editing and updating could easily take place. Thanks to Steven Isoardi, editor of Central Avenue Sounds. His encouragement and recommendations made this book possible. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This page intentionally left blank ...
