paul secor Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Harper Barnes' novel, Blue Monday, which concerns the death of Bennie Moten, makes mention of many musicians who were active in Kansas City during the 1930's: Basie, Pres, Ben Webster, Herschel Evans, Joe Turner, Julia Lee, and on and on. John A. Williams' novel, Clifford's Blues - not about Clifford Brown or even Clifford Thornton - Mentions Sam Wooding, Ellington, Doc Cheatham, Gene Sedric, Tommy Ladnier, Ma Rainey, Garvin Bushnell, Kid Ory (Orey, in the book) , Louis, Bessie Smith, and many other musicians.
