Bücher von Bert Whyatt

Jazz musician Bobby Hackett began his career in the 1930s; it ended with his death in 1976. An extensively researched discography of the vast number of recorded sessions in which he took part during these decades forms the core of this substantial book. It sits amid fascinating biographical insights gathered by the authors.

An illustrated selection from the extensive writings of two intrepid jazz collectors and researchers, Derek Coller and the late Bert Whyatt (1920-2013). The compilation records the lives and music of the unsung 'White Jazzmen of Chicago' from the 1920s onwards. A small percentage of all those who played jazz in Chicago, a long and proud tradition.
