This is a biography & discography of the great jazz pianist of the '40s into the '70s. It also contains a chronology of highlights in his life and even a brief account of his ancestral background, as well as a 16-page photo section. The book was previously published in 1985; it soon sold out and became a collector's item, so the author himself reprinted - & added some new material to - this edition on the 100-year anniversary of Garner's birth. No dust jacket, apparently as published. Just slight wear on the cover corners, otherwise in like new condition.
