About this title: Harry Gold's vividly detailed reminiscences of his eight decades as a working musician conjure up lost worlds: London's poverty-stricken East End in the early 1920s, the glamorous high-society life of great dance bands in the inter-war years, dodging bombs in the Blitz and life on the road with his own jazz band in the post-war decades. His musical experiences stretch from seeing the Original Dixieland Jazz Band in 1919 to playing with his Pieces of Eight on tour in East Germany in the 1980s and gigs in Britain and abroad at the end of the 1990s. As he says: have sax, will travel.
