[Liege, Belgium]: The Author, [1977]. First Edition.. Original printed wrappers.. Very good; modest sunning to the backstrip. A news article about Taylor neatly spot mounted to the front endsheet facing the title [no offset - yet].. 8vo, [8], [9] - 301, [302 - blank], [14 - index], [2 - blank], [2 - printer's slug, verso blank] pp. This copy with a dated presentation inscription signed by the author on the Dedication page reading: "For Sylvie [printed] and Igor etc. / I hope you enjoy / Art Taylor / Jan. 13, 1978" [autograph].
The rare, true first, of one of the great books of modern jazz history. Taylor - who had lived in Europe most of his career - self-published this book based on interviews of the preceding decade. Taylor played drums in a series of bands in the 1950s that defined modern jazz. The book records his one-on-one conversations with a "who's who" of jazz artists of the period. And what conversations! As an accomplished musician and Afro-American he was able to query his subjects in a manner that no one else could approach. An invaluable resource.
