Summary: A Chicago Jazzman
Comment: I LOVE jazz AUTObiographies. There's something about reading the authors own words which conjurs actual images of that person's life. Without exception, each jazz autobiography has made me feel as if I've actually met that person.

Bud Freeman was on the Chicago jazz scene in the 1920's when a lot of the "so called" New Orleans names were there. I say "so called" because Freeman says that people like Louis Armstrong and King Oliver were more Chicago musicians than they were New Orleans musicians. Freeman's stories about Chicago during those years almost makes you feel like you've been there before.

One thing which really made an impression on me is Freeman's descriptions of road life, as a jazz musician. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is aspiring to be a professional musician, if for no other reason than to get a glimps of the less glamorous aspects of that life style.
