Jive-Colored Glasses: a jazz memoir

By John F. Goodman

Jive-Colored Glasses looks at my life through the lenses of jazz music and personal memory. It's a story of how I came to jazz from a privileged background, became a jazz critic, and how jazz changed my life. The themes are work, women, money and music-and how I met (or ducked) the challenges of each. The book presents an informed look into jazz history and culture, particularly of the period 1950-1980. Music referenced in the text is hyperlinked to YouTube and other sources so the reader can hear it immediately (ebook version).
