The colourful, personal story of an early jazz legend First
published in 1971 and now lovingly reissued this autobiography is a
valuable, entertaining, and sometimes risque firsthand account of
early New Orleans jazz by one of the pioneers of the string bass.
In transcribed interviews, Foster describes the milieu in which
early jazz developed. With great attention to detail and an
outspoken narrative style he puts the record straight, correcting
many jazz critics and historians in the process. Colorful anecdotes
bring to life legends of early jazz such as Jelly Roll Morton,
Buddy Bolden, and King Oliver. A generous collection of rare
photographs complement this dramatic and fascinating story.
