His spectacular book tells the symbiotic story of jazz and the underworld: a relationship fostered in some of 20th century America’s most notorious vice districts.

The timeline of story and fact followings a mincing of jazz legends like Louis Armstrong, Earl “Fatha” Hines, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, and Ella Fitzgerald. This is cast against the glare and inevitable momentum of mobsters like Al Capone, Meyer Lansky and Charlie “Lucky” Luciano...  We cover the revelations and soul of the author and this important story that needed to be told from a jazz aficionado and brilliant writer ..
