John Hammond on Record: An Autobiography pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Almost everyone closely associated with me in the course of<br >a long life in music--and in a changing America--has a place<br >in the pages which follow. I hold them all in affeetion and re-<br >spect, and I have tried to make this evident in the text.<br > I must offer a special salute, however, to several of<br >my oldest companions on the journey: Fletcher Henderson,<br >Bill Basic, Benny Goodman, and Teddy Wilson.<br > I have always been grateful to the late Goddard Lieb-<br >erson, the brilliant president of Columbia Records, for his<br >unfailing friendship and support. He was the conscience of<br >the record business and its boldest innovator. My gratitude,<br >as well, to Bob Altshuler, the head of Columbia Records <br >public relations, for tirelessly touting my successful records<br >and minimizing my failures.<br > I want to acknowledge the unstinting assistance of<br >Frank Driggs and Michael Brooks, who for years have done<br >much of the legwork for which I received credit.<br > Of my many wonderful cousins not already men-<br >tioned, Shirley Burden and Watson Webb have been of<br >enormous help. And so has John Berg, the fine art director<br >of Columbia Records.<br > Thanks, too, to my old friend Willis Conover, who<br >encouraged me to reminisce on tape some twenty years ago<br >md gave me the notion that there might be a story in my<br >mstructured life. By the fortunate coincidence that Irving<br >Fownsend and I retired from Columbia Records at about the<br >ame time, a man who knows me as well as any in the world<br >xas able to help make this book a reality. For patiently and<br >killfully untangling the facts of my life, Irving, many thanks.<br >kny errors which may crop up, of eourse, are mine.<br > Finally, an appreciative nod to Adie Suehsdorf, the<br >host knowledgeable and ereative editor in my experience.<br >Fhe fact that he is also a lover of jazz made our collaboration<br >
