Stephen Taylor just posted this at the Fats Waller Yahoo group:

...

Also, I would like to let you know about my forthcoming book "Fats

Waller on the Air: The Radio Broadcasts and Discography" to be

published by Scarecrow Press in February 2006. The book is # 50 in the

joint Scarecrow Press / Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers

University "Studies in Jazz" series.

The book includes detailed information about Fats Waller's radio

broadcasts, a fully updated Discography with many additions and

corrections, and a photospread with a number of previously unpublished

photos. For more info, please see the link on my web site.

Alyn Shipton's book is very good as well -

Yes, I have it, and it´s a very interesting reading.

Still haven´t got Maurice Waller´s or Ed Kirkeby´s books on Fats, though.

BTW, Shipton is only second to John Chilton in the "ammount of biographies written" category! :g

Nothing can compare to Coleman Hawkins / Henry Red Allen / Roy Eldridge / Billie Holiday / Bob Crosby / Louis Jordan / Sidney Bechet / Louis Armstrong / any more??? !!!! :o
