Description
Leonard Feather's autobiography is also the story of jazz over the last half-century.

He was one of the first to champion the innovations of bebop in the pages of Esquire and Downbeat, also an ardent campaigner against racial barriers, and a friend to dozens of musicians. There are stories here about Feather's relationship with.
