Friends Along the Way

"For more than half a century, jazz writer and lyricist Gene Lees has been the friend of many in the world of jazz music. In this book he offers minibiographies of fifteen of these friends - some of them jazz greats, some lesser-known figures, and some up-and-comers. Combining conversations and memoirs with critical commentary, Lees's profiles will captivate jazz fans, performers, and historians alike."--Jacket.

First sentence: The town in Canada where I spent most of my public and high school years, Saint Catharines, Ontario, is about ten miles from the Niagara River and the U.S.-Canadian border.
