Jeffery Magee, a musicologist here at Indiana University, has written a biography of Fletcher Henderson--it will be published by Oxford University Press in July. Can't wait! Henderson is such an important figure in 20's and 30's jazz. I'm already getting the itch to pull out A STUDY IN FRUSTRATION again...

To anyone who wishes to make a serious study (with minimum frustration) of Fletcher Henderson, I highly recommend this book, which is the result of the late Walter C. Allen's many years in pursuit of Hendersonia. No a bio, as such, but stuffed to the covers (651 pages of fine print) with pertinent data, all meticulously typed in on Walter's Selectric. Oh, if only he had a computer, but it was 1973.

This is good news. Oxford has done such a wonderful job of keeping the jazz flame burning.

I've traded phone messages with Professor Magee, and we're going to do a program together on the book & Henderson when it comes out. Probably about 75 minutes... I'll post a link later this year if anybody's interested.
