His various books, such as Early Jazz, The Swing Era and Horn Technique, have also been widely praised as landmarks in musical scholarship...
...Most of the time will be spent in New York, where a certain other candidate running on the Clinton years has gotten over her fears of a certain naughty husband's political impact.
