Bayou Jazz Lives is a collection of biographies and autobiographies
of jazz and blues musicians who made a vital contribution to the
development of these genres. Offering first-hand accounts from the
men and women who made the music, as well as scholarly and
well-researched life stories by established biographers, this
series is an invaluable aid to anyone seeking more information
about the conditions in which these key strands of popular music
were created.
The first volume of Barker's memoirs, A Life in Jazz, followed
him from New Orleans into the big bands of Cab Calloway and Benny
Carter. He was working on this -- the second volume -- for some
years before his death in 1994. Beginning with an extended portrait
of Buddy Bolden as recalled by the likes of Jelly Roll Morton and
Bunk Johnson as well as Barker himself, this book draws together a
lifetime of stories and the vivid characters who populated
"Storyville."
