My interests in jazz are:
I've been writing about jazz since the late 1950s when I first fell in love with it. I've published two books about it, "Music & Politics" (with John Sinclair) and "Giants of Black Music" (with Pauline Rivelli). I've written for Rolling Stone, The Village Voice (where I had a weekly jazz column), Downbeat, Metronome, the American Record Guide, All About Jazz and Jazz & Pop (where I was the Jazz Editor).
