Awaited/rumored jazz bio/books update thread

[AllenLowe]

My jazz history book, 1900-1950 was finished 4 or 5 years ago, but never was completely issued, as it awaited a large boxed CD set - I am told by the publisher that the release of the boxed set is scheduled for this December - 36 CDs in all, which represent, in my unbiased opinion (yeah, right) the best collection of its kind - sound is uneven, as many sources were 80-100 years old -

Allen, the Bolden d recording will, alone, be worth whatever price you put on the set.

[AllenLowe]

well, I didn't find the Bolden, but it doesn't really matter, as Wynton has already told us what Bolden sounded like -

[AllenLowe]

though I did include a few chorus of Bush singing "Gone With The Wind" -

followed by "Stormy Weather" -

and of course 8/29 WAS "Stormy Monday" -
