Book Synopsis Close Enough for Jazz by : Michael Zwerin
Download or read book Close Enough for Jazz written by Michael Zwerin and published by Quartet Books (UK). This book was released on 1983 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mike Zwerin played with Miles Davis in the original Birth of the Cool sessions, but most of the anecdotes from his life as a participant and observer of jazz come from his days in the big bands of Maynard Ferguson and Claude Thornhill. Plenty of goofy moments from musicians on the road, self-discovery in Paris, etc. Not quite a working-class session musician, but not a star either, Mike comes off as amusing and down-to-earth. A fun read for musicians.
