Jazz musician Bobby Hackett - 'one of the finest natural musicians
in the business' according to Muggsy Spanier - began his career in
the 1930s; it ended with his death in 1976. An extensively
researched discography of the vast number of recorded sessions in
which Hackett took part during these decades forms the essential
core of this substantial book. It is prefaced with the fascinating
biographical insights gathered from the articles, reviews, news
stories, meetings and interviews which the editors accumulated as
they worked, and illustrated throughout with contemporary
photographs, advertising, and record labels and covers. Detailed
indexes feature both the famous and the influential - Louis
Armstrong, Eddie Condon, Jackie Gleason, Horace Heidt, Glenn
Miller, Lee Wiley among them - and the lesser-known working
musicians and artists of the era.Prompted by Hackett's death, this
work of research started with hand-written index cards, and
progressed through typewriters and several generations of word
processors and computer operating systems; its publication is a
realisation not only of Bobby Hackett's life in music, and place in
a period of musical history, but also of an enthusiasm sustained
through personal acquisitions, friendships and travel - and
listening to a lot of jazz!
