9: Born under the Sign of Jazz, Randi Hultin

Catching up again... I finished this a few weeks ago.

Randi Hultin was a Swedish jazz fan who forged close relationships with many leading jazz musicians in the second half of the 20th century. The book is a memoir of her meeting these musicians, sometimes at festivals or clubs, and often in her own living room where they held frequent jam sessions.

Sometimes the subjectivity bothered me. Eh. So it goes. It's a memoir, after all. Comes with a CD of rare recordings made by Randi herself. The Stuff Smith track was the reason I wanted the book.
