[JPL] Books

[Len Dobbin]

Re: Books, more WONDERFUL news, Toronto author Mark Miller is currently 
working on a book on the vastly undervalued HERBIE NICHOLS - any Nichols 
stories out there ? - I would gladly forward same to Mark if you send to me. 
I was able to hook Miller up with my friend David Amram, who played the Cafe 
Bohemia with Mingus, when Herbie was the house pianist at that Village spot.
