We Called It Music: A Generation of Jazz

New York: Henry Holt and Company. Very Good in Very Good dj. First Edition. Hardcover. [moderate shelfwear, light soiling to covers; jacket has tiny tears at several corners and a lengthwise crease in the spine]. (B&W photographs) Memoir of jazz musician Eddie Condon (1905-1973), "a kind of autobiography, but what it comes down to is a running stream of memories that *are* jazz, insofar as its possible to put it down on paper. Eddie Condon talked all this to Tom Sugrue, who wrote it down [and] has also written a number of spot chapters that fill in background for the jazz gourmet all the way from Storyville, New Orleans, to Eddie Condon's Town Hall concerts." .
