Teddy Wilson Talks Jazz: The Autobiography of Teddy Wilson

Teddy Wilson Talks Jazz: The Autobiography of Teddy Wilson by Wilson, Teddy. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780304336104.

In his varied and colorful life, Teddy Wilson worked with innumerable great names of jazz. He came to fame in the small groups led by Benny Goodman, and also through his remarkable series of recordings with the singer Billie Holiday. During the mid-1970s, Wilson recorded and toured often in Europe, and during these visits he was frequently teamed with the Dutch Swing College Band. The bands guitarist Arie Ligthart and Anglo-Dutch publicist and author Humphrey van Loo took the opportunity of these visits to work with Wilson on a full-length autobiography, which has lain unpublished during the years since Wilsons death in 1986.
