Product Information
New Orleans is a kind of Mecca for jazz pilgrims, as Whitney Balliett once wrote. This memoir tells the story of one aspiring pilgrim, Clive Wilson, who fell in love with New Orleans jazz in his early teens while in boarding school in his native England. It is also his story of gradually becoming disenchanted with his family and English environment and, ultimately, finding acceptance and a new home in New Orleans. The timing of his arrival, at age twenty-two, just a few weeks after the signing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the end of legal segregation, placed him in a unique position with the mostly African American musicians in New Orleans. They showed him around, brought him into their lives, gave him music lessons, and even hired him to play trumpet in brass bands. In short, Wilson became more than a pilgrim; he became an apprentice, and for the first time, legally, in New Orleans, he could make that leap. Time of My Life: A Jazz Journey from London to New Orleans tells the story of Wilson's journey as he discovers the contrast between his imagined New Orleans and its reality. Throughout, he delivers his impressions and interactions with such local musicians as Fat Man Williams, Manuel Manetta, Punch Miller, and Billie and DeDe Pierce. As his playing improves, invitations to play in local bands increase. Eventually, he joins in the jam and, by doing so, integrates the Original Tuxedo Jazz Band, which had been in continuous existence since 1911. Except for a brief epilogue, this memoir ends in 1979, when Wilson assembles his own band for the first time, the Original Camellia Jazz Band, with musicians who had been among his heroes when he first arrived in New Orleans.

- k***a (323)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaI am extremely satisfied with my purchase from this seller . The item arrived promptly and was securely packaged, ensuring it arrived in perfect condition. The seller did an excellent job in describing the item accurately, and it matched exactly what was shown in the listing. Communication was clear and timely, which made the entire experience smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller for their great service, fast delivery, and trustworthy product description.
- k***- (5)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaquality for all items as described, no major issues with products and all are in good condition, very fast delivery, i can’t find cheaper prices elsewhere & the 3 for 2 deal are great. the only issue is that the deal only applies to one set of 3 books in the basket, so i had to put in 4 seperate orders to get the free book each time (perhaps an issue on my end). the only other issue is one item (out of four) has not been delivered yet and the tracking is unavailable.
- n***l (19)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaBought these on a whim and didn't realise the delivery date was when I was away. I contacted the seller and they said it'd arrive Monday. Today is Sunday and they've turned up already. These are pre loved books, not badly damaged ones. 500 characters isn't enough to express the quality to price ratio. Quite a few big authors too (Dan Brown, Jeffrey Archer, Wilbur Smith). Be careful opening the box as even though it is packaged well, there's nothing protecting the books. Will buy again.
