This unique book of cartoons is an intriguing commentary on jazz icons, standards, and culture that will be best enjoyed by those within the jazz community. Portraits, songs, facts and, naturally, stereotypes borrowed from the field of traditional jazz, in other words from “Dad’s days”, made up the source Rupert Hoerbst drew his inspiration from for his cartoon book. The illustrations of legendary artists—Armstrong, Ellington, Basie, Goodman, Krupa, Ferguson, Hampton, Fitzgerald, Gillespie, Rollins and many more—are especially excellent.
