Any book on my life would start with my basic philosophy of fighting racial prejudice. I loved jazz; and jazz was my way of doing that; Norman Granz told Tad Hershorn during the final interviews given for this book. Granz; who died in 2001; was iconoclastic; independent; immensely influential; often thoroughly unpleasantmdash;and one of jazzrsquo;s true giants. Granz played an essential part in bringing jazz to audiences around the world; defying racial and social prejudice as he did so; and demanding that African-American performers be treated equally everywhere they toured. In this definitive biography; Hershorn recounts Granzrsquo;s story: creator of the legendary jam session concerts known as Jazz at the Philharmonic; founder of the Verve record label; pioneer of live recordings and worldwide jazz concert tours; manager and recording producer for numerous stars; including Ella Fitzgerald and Oscar Peterson.
