Description

Mezz Mezzrow was a boy from Chicago who learned to play the sax in reform school and pursued a life in music and a life of crime. He moved from Chicago to New Orleans to New York; working in brothels and bars; bootlegging; dealing drugs; getting hooked; doing time; producing records; and playing with the greats; among them Louis Armstrong; Bix Beiderbecke; and Fats Waller. Really the Blues; the jive-talking memoir that Mezzrow wrote at the insistence of; and with the help of; the novelist Bernard Wolfe; is the story of an unusual and unusually American life; and a portrait of a man who moved freely across racial boundaries when few could or did; ldquo;the odyssey of an individualist . . . the saga of a guy who wanted to make friends in a jungle where everyone was too busy making money.rdquo;
