I've gotten a ton of Anderson's books at used bookstores; more than I'll ever get around to reading, probably. Yes, I have a few from the same source - clearly a transatlantic phenomenon! Just finished reading: A recent edition of this 1953 novel with the present day London skyline on the cover, the "erotic gherkin" well in evidence on the right.

Had the good fortune to hear George Adams with the Gil Evans Orchestra here in Manchester in 1978. Love his impassioned playing!

I think this seriously understates Bags' abilities as a piano player. On the Telefunken Blues tracks he can be heard competently managing a piano style which owes something to Horace Silver. There's no sign of the two-finger style (using one finger of each hand) which Hamp and Terry Gibbs used.
