Acknowledgments

This book would not have been possible without the help of many individuals. I would like to extend my thanks first to a talented group of people who read parts of this work and gave me invaluable feedback. For the revised edition, I am indebted to Rob Bamberger, Bob Blumenthal, Peter Gerler, Todd Jenkins, Alan Kurtz, Steven Lasker, Stuart Nicholson, Peter Pullman, Thierry Quénum, Charles A. Sengstock Jr., and Jeff Sultanof for their guidance and advice. For the first edition of this book, I relied on the input of Donald Marquis, Richard Hadlock, Richard Sudhalter, Grover Sales, Bill Kirchner, John Litweiler, Nathan Pearson, Dr. Herb Wong, John O’Neill, Dana Gioia, Larry Kart, and Chris Sheridan. Although I benefited enormously from the assistance of these individuals, I must absolve them from blame for any of the limitations of the final work. I also need to express my gratitude to Dan Morgenstern and the staff at the Rutgers Institute of Jazz Studies, and to Dr. Bruce Boyd Raeburn of the Hogan Jazz Archive at Tulane University, as well as to Barbara Sawka of the Stanford University Archive of Recorded Sound. Additional thanks are due to Joseph Mailander and Greg Gioia, for their input and encouragement, and to Joellyn Ausanka, of Oxford University Press, for her assistance in shepherding the first edition of this work through various stages of production. I owe a tremendous debt to the late Sheldon Meyer of Oxford University Press, who encouraged me to write the first edition of this book and served as the best of editors and a constant source of valued advice. I also must thank Suzanne Ryan of Oxford University Press, who made it possible for me to update and revise this book for a new generation of readers. Finally, I need to offer my deepest thanks to my wife, Tara, to whom this book is lovingly dedicated, for her unflagging support and help during the course of writing it.
