A must for the novice jazz fan and aficionado alike, in this highly original work Humphrey Lyttleton, a noted authority, goes right back to the roots of Jazz, discussing key figures from the early New Orleans and Chicago scenes and beyond, highlighting key figures, unique styles and the greatest recordings through a thirty year period that defined Jazz music. The inimitable Humph provides plenty of lively historical background and tells insightful anecdotes often taken from the reminiscences of the musicians involved. 'The Best of Jazz', a compendium of two original works on the subject, is split into analysis of distinct eras pre- and post-1931 - ''Basin Street to Harlem'', and ''Enter The Giants'', moving from the ground-breaking early Jazz bands to the rise of revolutionary individual musicians. It is an ideal companion work to 'It Just Occurred to Me' (ISBN: 9781905798179) - Humph's earlier, much-loved book of reminiscences and thoughts on his life and career.

Artists discussed in the book include Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Bix Beiderbecke, Bessie Smith, Coleman Hawkins, Art Tatum, Billie Holliday and many others.

This is a nice toy but is not aggressive pug proof....
Pattern Name: Frog
My little alpha female pug mix ripped this frog apart in about 3 weeks during supervised tugging with me. We've been sewing the head back together as the stuffing gets scattered but I'm afraid we'll have to put Mr. Frog down in a few weeks. This toy has a squeaky and a crinkle sound that make it interesting for the dog but it is not indestructible. She really likes this toy and I'll probably buy another one. Just wish I got more than a few months out of the purchase.

Crinkley Paper Should Not be Ingested
Pattern Name: Donkey, Pattern Name: Donkey
This thing was cute as can be, and for awhile my dogs got some good play time out of it. But I was somewhat mortified when I saw torn up pieces of the "crinkley paper" all over my living room carpet. It is like a crunchy Saran Wrap, definitely not something a dog should be potentially ingesting. They can say the toy is tough and durable, but it ultimately is not, so it matters what is inside it. I really can't believe they would put something like that inside a toy. As soon as I saw it, I immediately threw the toy in the garbage. All dog toys have something inside them that is pretty non-digestible, but this plastic seemed particularly wreckless to me. So cute or not, I cannot recommend this toy and will not buy from this manufacturer again.
