Book Description
This is the first biography of jazz trumpeter and singer, Henry 'Red' Allen, long regarded as Louis Armstrong's chief rival. Both men were born in New Orleans and shared an African-American heritage, but their social backgrounds were quite different. Whereas Armstrong made many best-selling records, Allen never achieved hit parade success but gradually built up a durable international following--today, dozens of his CDs are widely available. As a close friend, Chilton reveals Allen's personality, as well as analyzing his magnificent recordings. The intriguing contrast between Allen's spectacular performance showmanship and his off-stage reticence is dealt with, and fascinating details of Allen's early life in New Orleans and on the Mississippi riverboats are brought to life. Allen's popularity has increased each year since his death in 1967; his latter day tours of Europe are still regarded as being among the most successful by any visiting jazz musician. The background details of all the periods of Allen's varied career are dealt with, including his work with King Oliver, Luis Russell, Fletcher Henderson, Kid Ory, and Louis Armstrong. The book also contains a selected discography.

Memorial Ride
Author: Stephen Graham Jones
Publisher: University of New Mexico Press
ISBN: 0826363245
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
Memorial Ride is a high-speed, ragtag chase across the American Southwest. Cooper Town, an American Indian soldier, has returned from the Middle East to attend his father’s funeral, make some quick cash off his father’s old Harley, and spend a whirlwind weekend with his girlfriend, Sheri Mun. However, when Coop runs afoul of the violent John Wayne gang, he and Sheri Mun have no choice but to twist the throttle back on that storied chopper and make tracks. In the spirit of Billy Jean, but fully aware of Billy Jack, Coop and Sheri Mun’s race to survive is full speed ahead with many potholes in their path. Turning the traditional Western on its head, Memorial Ride recasts the genre as a road movie. It’s raucous, it’s violent, and, scarily enough, it might even be true. In short, this graphic novel delivers the storytelling prowess of Stephen Graham Jones through Maria Wolf’s artwork, and the result is a ride you’ll want to take again and again.

Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
My name was Sebastian. But now they call me Slade. I've reinvented myself, become a man, been sworn into the Red Dragon MC. I've got tattooed and ripped to hell, I've cut my hair and my face now bears the scars of all the fights I've seen. The last thing I need is to face her again... It's been eight years since Maya ran away from the club. Sweet, beautiful Maya. My first love. Why do I have to ride halfway across the country to pick her up? Because the club is at war, she's the niece of our President and I'm the only brother who can be trusted to protect her. She broke my heart, but I still want her. Do I ever. This woman is my goddess. She's also my curse. I need to focus on getting her home. But as soon as our eyes lock, she's looking at me all kinds of ways. Like I'm the sexiest, most perfect stranger she's ever seen. And then I realise, I look completely different to the boy she once knew and she doesn't even recognise me. I could tell her who I am. Or I could have a little fun with her first... This sexy second novel in the Red Dragon MC series can also be read as a standalone. Fans of Kristen Ashley, Joanna Wylde and Madeline Sheehan will love the heart-stopping tension. Guaranteed HEA, no cliffhangers and no cheating. What readers are saying about Her Rough Ride "The moment I started this book I was "all in"!!... The chemistry between the two was electric and there was the perfect amount of steam with a side of sass!! Heather Van Fleet did a fantastic job with the pacing of this addictive novel--I literally flew through it in record time!" Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars "Wow! What a sizzler.

The characters were really well developed... a very enjoyable read... highly recommended and can't wait to see what she releases next!"Donna's Book Blog
