Waiting for Dizzy by Gene Lees

Waiting for Dizzy by Gene Lees

Focusing on American jazz music of the 1920s, this study argues that, although it was fashionable to belittle the role of white musicians during this era, one of the most influential figures was undoubtedly Bix Beiderbecke. Other essays discuss the careers of Dizzy Gillespie and Bill Challis.

Gene Lees is the author of Oscar Peterson: The Will to Swing and Waiting for Dizzy, both published by Cooper Square Press. He lives in Ojai, CA.
