under "Mezzroll" came a recommendation to read Really The Blues by Milton
"Mezz" Mezzrow. The book is on time. Even though it is first published in
1946, the autobiography tells the life of a jazz musician on the road
complete with a glossary in the back. These are the real roots to be
checked for an intertaining read. He fronts a big image claiming credit to
the term "jamming", but that's ok, the first white man to be a mac in
Harlom can say that if he wants to.
Also, does anybody know anything about the SoundClash label in Norwich? I
have a plate of breaks from these guys that is incredible.
