interesting: Although he was a decent clarinetist and saxophonist, Mezz Mezzrow is remembered today primarily for his autobiography "Really the Blues", and for rejecting White society and embracing African-American culture, to the extent that he actually believed that he was Black www.redhotjazz.com/mezz.html

Yes, that book is a wonderful read! Mezz was the only guy who ever tried to "pass" for black.

"Mezz was the only guy who ever tried to "pass" for black." What a dumb thing to say. Anyways. Mezz's records with Bechet are actually amazing. He's the perfect foil for the powerful Bechet.
