Review of 'From Birdland to Broadway : scenes from a jazz life' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Would have liked to give it 3.5 stars but went 3 instead of 4, only because it can be disjointed at times, and due to the fact that it gets confused with its own memoir/anthology of anecdotes status. Sometimes Bill Crow is telling his life story, and sometimes it is just a five page acknowledgement of a server at club he once worked at. Bill has a very pleasant voice and has some great stories, but there are parts that are less accessible if you aren't familiar with the Jazz personalities involved. Still, it is an amusing read and great if you are a jazz fan. 3.5 stars for all folks, 4 stars for people that love jazz and the world around it.
