Dear JOHN LESTER: Neither the "West Coast Jazz" French Alain Tercinet dedicated space due to Max Bennett (only 01 single statement when referring to the formation of the recording - 1957 "Coop The Music Of Bob Cooper").

Look Zebra Bororó there !!

Mr. Lester, excellent, both the text and the chosen songs. Just a correction: Joni Mitchell is a singer. Born in Canada but with a long career in the United States. Ha including a disc of Herbie Hancock dedicated to his compositions, "River, The Joni Letters." 12/5/11 11:48
Max Bennet's entry, though brief, of "The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz", 1999, Leonard Feather & Ira Gitller. Feather died in 1994, but bequeathed a precious Gitller file to complete the work. 12/5/11 jcpenney employee kiosk 15:35
