If a description can be added, here is the description from the jacket flaps:
"JazzTalk is insightful conversations with ten Jazz masters. In these provocative dialogues, they speak candidly of their lives and music. Freddie Hubbard speaks of his bewilderment during a Coltrane recording session and of his disillusionment with his own later descent into commercialism. Paul Quinichette discusses his experiences with Lionel Hampton, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, Lester Young, and a host of other jazz immortals, and talks of both the ecstasies and indignities of the jazz life. Milt Jackson bares the man behind the tuxedo. Cecil Taylor offers a fresh perspective on his legendary encounter with pianist Mary Lou Williams. Sun Ra speaks of his dream of a 2,000-piece band. Art Blakey tells tales of Southern tours in the '40s, and of his role as one of the music's prime catalysts. Bill Dixon reveals his human side and discusses his controversial career, in a rare interview. These and many other fascinating revelations come to light in this book of oral history, which also includes interviews with Von Freeman, Milt Hinton, and Billy Harper."
Additionally, the "Jazz Talk" in the title should be just one word ("JazzTalk") This is confirmed by the front flap of the jacket and the back of the book, where there is no space between the two words.
I hope this is the right folder for this post. Thank you!
