Three books I'd guard with my life: Jazz in Print 1863-1929 (Koenig) Popular Cuban Music, published in 1939 and written by Emilo Grenet and Joe Boyd's And the Roots of Rhythm Remain.

That's a good idea for next week's Substack, Bill: music books we can't live without. You write your list and I'll write mine and between us we'll send folk to Amazon and Abe Books!

You're right, Michael! And, now you raise this, I think Abe Books is owned by Amazon. so find a good local bookshop in y8ur community (Type, for exampe, om Totonto) and order it, or try the really good music books shelf at Sellers & Newel, also in our home town!
