But some of the factual errors are inexcusable. 3 examples: Stan Getz IDed as Gerry Mulligan; Nat Cole NEVER recorded for Columbia; and Doris Day did not sing with Jimmy Dorsey or duet with Bob Eberly. Could have been so much better had author employed a fact checker.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. "New York City Jazz": A Golden Era Brilliantly RecapturedBy Bud PaintonIn "New York City Jazz"; author Elizabeth Dodd Brinkofski has skillfully and lovingly documented the rich sights; sounds; and incomparable artistry that was the New York City jazz scene of the halcyon era of the 1940s; while rightfully noting the power of its influential echoes that reverberate to the present day.From "Ol Blue Eyes" and Nat "King" Cole to Billie "Lady Day" Holiday and "Sir Duke"; from the great "Satchmo" to the ingenious Les Paul; and all of the dozens of jazz giants in between; Elizabeth vibrantly brings the immortals to life through page after treasured page of rich archival photographs; whose detailed captions represent nothing less than fascinating mini-history lessons of that beloved American original: The sweet soul-stirring genre that we call "Jazz".Within these chapters; too; we visit the sensational and legendary New York City nightclubs and jazz clubs (in Elizabeths words; the "haunts and hideaways") of this magical era.Touchingly dedicated to her parents; Richard (a talented songwriter) and Elizabeth "Betty" Parowski Dodd; who met and fell in love amid the romantic ambience of the citys jazz scene; author Elizabeth Dodd Brinkofski (an accomplished musician and recording artist in her own right) has crafted a sparkling gem of a book!1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great photos of Jazz stars and venues in the 1940s (most taken by Bill Gottlieb)By Steve RammThis 128-page paperback - one in Arcadias "Images of America" series - would be better titled "New York Jazz in the 1940s". Nearly all the photos (and they are great photos!) were taken during that period. And the majority were shot by well-known jazz photographer William Gottlieb (who gets credit only as part of the authors acknowledgement). These come from the Library of Congress collection; The photos (all black and white) are arranged one; or two; to a page and each has a caption by author Elizabeth Dodd Brinkofski; a jazz guitarist in New York. Her mother and father were in the music business too and the author has peppered the book with photos of them on a date; getting engaged and getting married and her mom hanging out with girlfriends. What this has to do with New York Jazz; Im not sure but there are only a few of them. The authors writing style is often repetitious. In one caption she will repeat the subjects first and last name in successive sentences as many as three times. She even includes a photo of herself in the last of the four chapters ("Heartstrings") and speaks of herself in the third person. Speaking of that last chapter; which focuses on guitarists and is where youll find photos of performers that were not taken by Gottlieb in the 1940s; why is Eric Clapton here? And Lead belly?As I said earlier the photos have some great images and I always love Gottliebs camera work (Check out his book "Golden Age of Jazz" which is always being reprinted). So; yes I can recommend this book as a nice addition to any jazz collection. Not as a reference book; but something to look at while listening to your favorite jazz records.I hope you found this review both informative and helpful.Steve Ramm"Anything Phonographic"
