The autobiography of the founder and owner of the legendary New York nightclub where so much historical jazz records have been, and continue to be, recorded. Actually, just the last third of the book deals with stories about jazzmen: the rest concentrates on other artists and performers that started at the Vanguard, some now famous, like Barbra Streisand and Woody Allen, others not so much, at least not for me... This is an interesting book with some funny stories but I would have liked some show more more jazz related ones, in particular I miss a chapter on Bill Evans... show less
