Good Morning Blues by Count Basie
One of the great jazz memoirs. Count Basie (19041984), pianist, composer, and icon of big-band jazz, known for such classics as "Jumpin' at the Woodside," "Cherokee," and "One O'Clock Jump," recounts his life story to Albert Murray with all the charm and dry humor of two friends sitting at the kitchen table. Good Morning Blues is both testimony and tribute to a remarkable, rich life.
"[Murray] translates Basie's universe into literature" Wynton Marsalis
Albert Murray's many books include Stomping the Blues, The Omni-Americans, and South to a Very Old Place, nominated for a National Book Award. He lives in New York City.
