...other hand there was a very hip continuation of an old trend on Atlantic. Joe Tex continued to develop himself along lines he can personally deal with and that also happen to be relevant to the contemporary urban social thing.

Rank at the Top. Nina's hip style is not pure jazz, pure blues or pure anything.

Siggy calls these notes his "prehistory," and his recollected stories seem touched by the bizarre influence of Gunter Grass. On the day in 1938 when Austria capitulates to Hitler, for example...
