Book Description
A visual history of America’s jazz nightclubs of the 1940s and 1950s, featuring exclusive interviews and over 200 souvenir photos. In the two decades before the Civil Rights movement, jazz nightclubs were among the first places that opened their doors to both Black and white performers and club goers in Jim Crow America. In this extraordinary collection, Grammy Award-winning record executive and music historian Jeff Gold looks back at this explosive moment in the history of Jazz and American culture, and the spaces at the center of artistic and social change. Sittin’ In is a visual history of jazz clubs during these crucial decades when some of the greatest names in in the genre—Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson, and many others—were headlining acts across the country. In many of the clubs, Black and white musicians played together and more significantly, people of all races gathered together to enjoy an evening’s entertainment. House photographers roamed the floor and for a dollar, took picture of patrons that were developed on site and could be taken home in a keepsake folder with the club’s name and logo. Sittin’ In tells the story of the most popular club in these cities through striking images, first-hand anecdotes, true tales about the musicians who performed their unforgettable shows, notes on important music recorded live there, and more. All of this is supplemented by colorful club memorabilia, including posters, handbills, menus, branded matchbooks, and more. Inside you’ll also find exclusive, in-depth interviews conducted specifically for this book with the legendary Quincy Jones; jazz great tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins; Pulitzer Prize-winning fashion critic Robin Givhan; jazz musician and creative director of the Kennedy Center, Jason Moran; and jazz critic Dan Morgenstern. Gold surveys America’s jazz scene and its intersection with racism during segregation, focusing on three crucial regions: the East Coast (New York, Atlantic City, Boston, Washington, D.C.); the Midwest (Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, St. Louis, Kansas City); and the West Coast (Los Angeles, San Francisco). This collection of ephemeral snapshots tells the story of an era that helped transform American life, beginning the move from traditional Dixieland jazz to bebop, from conservatism to the push for personal freedom.

Book Description
<<>> In the world that is of Rob Louis, you will meet characters like Billy the Squid (and his seahorse sidekick Sid). You will be introduced to “Be on Time, Bill” and even take a boat ride through a bowl of vegetable soup. “Pass the carrots, potatoes, and peas, but hold the onions, please.” And when Rob is in his poetry and prose phase, you will find him picking his “knows.” He knows how to make a “boa constrictor cake,” and he knows “never to stand under a blue galoo, for goodness sake!” Some may ask, “Rob, how do you think of such things?” Easy, a little gnome lives in my head. He tells me when it is time for bed. He reminds me to tie my shoes and think goofy things when I am writing too. He tries to catch me when I fall down, and for my birthday, he became a clown. But when my head aches, yes, alas, I put my gnome out on the grass. So if you don’t like prose or poem, don’t blame me; blame the gnome. He probably wrote them because I wasn’t home. So now you know. But why the title of the book Sittin’ in My Garden (Waitin’ for the Jelly Beans to Grow)? Well, mostly because not only are jelly beans my all-time favorite candy, but they are also a fair and favorable representation of the prose and poems herein. Like the jelly beans, my writings are colorful, varied, and capable of either bringing a sweet and new memory or reminding the reader of an old one. Perhaps something from your childhood or maybe your children’s or grandchildren’s childhood. That’s why these poems and prose were written for the young and not so young. For all ages. And not to worry, there is no mentioned politics, religion, nothing sexual or any curse words, just goofy G-rated fun for all. Enjoy.
