Description:
"Over time, I became acquainted with the wide range of his experience. You name the musician or personality, and it seems that Irv Greenbaum has worked with him: luminaries like Thelonius Monk and Art Blakey, Ray Barretto and Tito Puente, to name a few. Here is a man who has modulated the balances of Nina Simone, Betty Carter, and... Boris Karloff! My own heart was touched particularly by his stories about the kindness and gentility of certain musicians, and of his contacts with some of the more idiosyncratic musicians he'd encountered. His stories- indeed the arc of his career in the music business- seemed to me eminently worthy of a book, an, thank the stars, Irv Greenbaum has written it.
