From the dust jacket: "THE JAZZ EXILES chronicles the expatriate movement of American jazz musicians during the post-World War II era. While the term exile normally conjures up images of ousted Third World leaders or deposed kings, it is as much a part of the jazz vocabulary as improvisation or Birdland. Like the American writers of the 1920s who went to Europe and became Gertrude Stein's 'lost generation,' jazz musicians from the United States also made the Atlantic crossing at a steadily increasing rate until many of the major names in jazz lived or worked almost exclusively abroad. Throughout THE JAZZ EXILES, the musicians speak for themselves in describing their motivation for joining the exodus to Europe, which is now regarded as the third largest migration in jazz history. The exiles include many of the major names in jazz - Dexter Gordon, Johnny Griffin, Phil Woods, Coleman Hawkins, Louis Armstrong, Stan Getz, Benny Carter, and Bud Powell, among others. This work also assesses the impact of foreign residence on the careers of these musicians and on the history of jazz. Moody, a jazz musician himself, charts the movement of American musicians to Europe from a historical perspective and examines the exile experience from a number of sociological and economic viewpoints, all of which are factors in understanding jazz history. With stories narrated through personal interviews in the musicians' own words, THE JAZZ EXILES sheds new light on America's attitude toward its own original art form and examines the dilemma of the American artist both at home and abroad.".

Just below the $3.00 price on the front flap is the word 'imported' stamped. The interior text pages are original. Big Bill Broonzy does not need any introduction to the jazz world. But his story is as much for the uninitiated as for the devotee of the blues. For Big Bill is one of the last of the old Mississippi Negroes who has spent his life singing and composing blues. Hired out to work at seven years old, in the horse and buggy days of the beginning of the century, he played for the white folks around Arkansas on a fiddle made from a cigar box. He has since sung his way around the world. By the middle twenties he began to attract the record companies, and now he has cut 260 songs including the great Joe Turner Blues and a version of James P. Johnson's Backwater Blues more moving even than that of Bessie Smith. A bottle of whisky and a tape recorder brings Big Bill's story to these pages, just as he told it, letting the reminiscences of a lifetime spill into the air as they came to mind. Memories of his boyhood in the cotton fields, memories of the girls who inspired, by their faithlessness as much as their constancy, the blues which he wrote in the depths of depression or the heights of exultation. How did those haunting blues originate? What lay behind those stories told to the strumming of a guitar? Many of Big Bill's songs are given here with the incidents which inspired them. And he talks of the blues singers he has known and tells their stories too. His book is a unique piece of jazz literature. In his final words he writes his own epitaph. just write, he says, he was a happy man when he was drunk and playing with women; he was liked by all the blues singers; some would get a little jealous sometimes but Bill would buy a bottle of whisky and they would all start laughing and playing again. Big Bill - he loves his whisky, he's just a whisky-head man. Oliver, Paul - With 9 Pages of Half-tone Illustrations and Four Drawings (illustratore).…
