Hey Larry,

I just got back from the Montreal Jazz Fest. I have a book to suggest 
that is due to be published in August. I haven't read it yet but I 
thought you might like to know about it. The author will be on my show 
in August.

The book is called Backstory In Blue, Ellington at Newport '56 by John 
Fass Morton. I have contact information for someone doing PR for the 
book. The book is to be published by Rutgers University Press.
