One can't deny John Hammond's contribution to Jazz. The man "discovered" Billie Holiday, Teddy Wilson, Count Basie and produced tons of records. On the other hand, he had a "bon savage" view of the Jazz musician that was far from reality. When Ellington began composing his "mood pieces", Hammond, until that time a Duke champion, became an enemy. His attitudes were both paternalist and naive. And this book reflects this behavior.
