Today I noticed on the shelves of Borders an anthology edited
by Bob Randisi featuring stories with a jazz background. Has
anyone out there sampled it enough to offer an opinion? We've
talked before here about the natural link between HB and noir
stories and jazz. Some writers prompt my imagination to
supply a jazz soundtrack when reading their stories. I don't
see a natural pattern among those writers. Examples of
include most of Spillane and Chandler and the best of
Woolrich.
On an unrelated note, today's Wall Street Journal features a
very nice piece by Tom Nolan "Ends the Beguine: Remembering
Artie Shaw." Nolan is a very elegant writer. Anyone who has
not read his biography of Ross Macdonald is missing a real
treat.
