Woody Herman was a central figure in the development of jazz - a musical giant whose career spanned the big band and bebop eras. Gene Lees has spent close to a decade interviewing Herman's friends and fellow musicians, to produce a vivid portrayal of the triumph and tragedy of a life in jazz.
Gene Lees is the author of many books on jazz and popular music, including Waiting for Dizzy, and Cats of Any Color. He was formerly an editor of Downbeat, and is the founder of Jazzletter. The legendary Dizzy Gillespie called Lees `the glowing jewel of jazz' for his perceptive writing about the music.
