Strangely enough, I'd picked up the book years ago but never got around to reading it until last Summer! A great read with lots of insight into the day to day life of a jazz musician away from home.

Mike Zwerin was the original trombonist in Miles "Birth of the Cool" Band in its one & only booking at The Royal Roost. He plays in the "live" performances available on "The Complete Birth Of The Cool" album. He was replaced by J.J.Johnson and then by Kai Winding for the studio versions of the arrangements. I will have to listen carefully now to the "live" tracks to see if Mike takes a solo !
Thanks Dave - he takes a somewhat blustery chorus on the first live version of 'Move'.
