Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
An anecdotal autobiography of Bill Crow's career in jazz from his arrival in New York City in the 1950s through his professional life as a jazz bassist playing with the likes of Benny Goodman, Gerry Mulligan, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Marian McPartland.
MoreLong description:
1950s New York. On the stage at Birdland is Pee Wee Marquette, the 3'9" MC, dressed in a zoot suit and loud tie, smoking a huge cigar, and mispronouncing the name of the next act. Pee Wee is just one of the many characters that have made Bill Crow's forty years in jazz seem like an instant. In the same key as his acclaimed Jazz Anecdotes, this collection of revealing, hilarious, and sometimes moving stories runs the full gamut of New York's nightspots, introducing us along the way to the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Goodman, Stan Getz, Billie Holliday, Yul Brynner, and Simon and Garfunkel.
`Oxford University Press is to be congratulated on recognising the historical value of these memories of a man who has been there'
