Former northeast jazz pianist Bill Harper, now living in France, has put together some memories of his 65 years on the jazz scene. As Bill played with many name players both local, national and international it goes without saying that he has a wealth of tales to tell.
The bad news is that he has no intention of having the book published claiming it would be cost-prohibitive and of limited appeal - I would dispute the latter as it is a most fascinating and interesting, not to mention humorous, read. However, the good news is that Bill has kindly given BSH permission to publish extracts so I'll start today with the foreword and front cover.
Lance.

Well, I would buy it! A top-class pianist, both as a soloist and an accompanist, who knows every (good) tune ever written, it was always a pleasure and a privilege to play alongside Bill. Not least because he is also a very funny man! Publish and be damned, man!
I too would buy a copy!
Bill, if you're reading this, check out print-on-demand platforms like Unbound. May be a risk free way of getting your work published in virtual and print formats
How can I get a copy Bill.....even for money?!
