JamesAHarrod Posted Monday at 09:32 PM Report Posted Monday at 09:32 PM Many years ago several members of this forum suggested (or rather urged) that I put together all of my bits and pieces about Pacific Jazz into a narrative history of the label. I am happy to announce to the forum that my history will be published by McFarland this year. McFarland direct and Amazon are accepting pre-orders. Quote
ghost of miles Posted Monday at 09:37 PM Report Posted Monday at 09:37 PM This is fantastic news, James! A great follow-up to your Stars of Jazz volume, and one I'll be buying for sure. Quote
romualdo Posted Monday at 11:32 PM Report Posted Monday at 11:32 PM Thanks a million James - been waiting for this Quote
JSngry Posted Monday at 11:33 PM Report Posted Monday at 11:33 PM Guaranteed legit. Pre-ordered. Between my high school band director's record collection and (at the same time) a massive catalog dump of so many things Liberty ending up in a Treasure City cutout bin (which was more than a bin...more like an expanse), Pacific Jazz was the first jazz label to which I developed an awareness of a label being a LABEL. It was a weird confluence of events, but hey... For that reason alone, this book has a bit of moral/karmic/resolution necessity for me to get. Glad to do so! Quote
T.D. Posted yesterday at 12:16 AM Report Posted yesterday at 12:16 AM Wow! Great news and congratulations! I'm a chess enthusiast, and McFarland Books has an absolutely sterling reputation for publishing chess books of biographical/historical nature. Quote
Ken Dryden Posted yesterday at 12:35 AM Report Posted yesterday at 12:35 AM Great news, indeed. Quote
rostasi Posted yesterday at 01:28 AM Report Posted yesterday at 01:28 AM It's still nearly a year away, but, yeah, I'll pick it up (even with Gioia's endorsement). Good news! Quote
Eric Posted yesterday at 01:30 AM Report Posted yesterday at 01:30 AM Looks wonderful and also pre-ordered. Quote

Good news! I don't need Gioia's "honest broker" (LOL) endorsement. James' work has been speaking for itself for years! Quote
jazzbo Posted yesterday at 02:05 AM Report Posted yesterday at 02:05 AM Congratulations! A wonderful achievement. Quote

James' work has been speaking for itself for years! Yeah, that's what I meant. I wanted to change "even with" to "despite," but our new rule here of not making changes after a set time made that not an option. Quote

Big Beat Steve Posted yesterday at 08:18 AM Report Posted yesterday at 08:18 AM Great news! Will be keeping an eye on this and preordering. 10 months till publication might be an unbearably long time, though. Quote
