Thirty pungent articles cover singers such as Bing Crosby, Sarah Vaughan, and Ethel Waters; instrumentalists including Count Basie and Charlie Parker; such composers as Scott Joplin, Duke Ellington, and Sonny Rollins; and the jazz trade in general.

From the Back Cover

RIDING ON A BLUE NOTE is an important collection by a major new voice in music criticism. Writing for the Village Voice since 1973, Gary Giddins has attracted a following that includes not only jazz enthusiasts but also pop music fans of every stripe. This volume brings together Giddins's best writings on the great names in jazz as well as on pop figures rarely treated seriously.
