Michael Dregni, Django: The Life & Music of a Gypsy Legend (Oxford U. Press) $11

easily the best jazz book i read in the last two years... lots of interesting background on the paris music scene around that time, about djangos sidemen..., reasonably insightful writing about the music, a good (though a bit short) chapter on gypsy jazz after django and dozens of funny django anecdotes,... (stuff like when he was in the UK for the first time and told one of his companions "see, they also have a moon here")
