Synopsis
John Sangster is as good a storyteller as he is a musician. This is an autobiography with the lot!
It is not above naming names, identifying the hotel concerned, or even inventing new words when totally necessary.
Meeting famous people like Graeme Bell, Don Burrows and Galapagos Duck; going to famous places like Edinburgh, Ireland and El Rocco; having lots of fun if not always elegantly.
It tells the story of Australian jazz from the Uptown Club in 1946 to now- and it's got a happy ending.
