Try Alive at the Village Vanguard: My Life In and Out of Jazz Time by our very own Lorraine Gordon. It's just out now!
Here's what others are saying:
"Lorraine Gordon has not only known everybody in jazz, but just about everybody else as well. This book is a must-read for all who love our city's roar, its music and its history."
Ahmet Ertegun, Chairman, Atlantic Records.
"She's beautiful, hilarious, ornery, out-spoken, sometimes outrageous, honest to a fault, endlessly quotable and simply the living spirit of jazz.
Bruce Lundvall, Blue Note Records."
"She's maintained the integrity of the Vanguard as a room where musicians play. It's a great feat, especially in our time, when integrity is a curse word and selling out a religion in our country. And it will be viewed that way, as a very great achievement not just for jazz but for our times."
Wynton Marsalis
"Lorraine Gordon is why the Village Vanguard is what it is, and why it is."
Bill Frisell
