R. Alberti "Jazz pianist" (Hilton Head, SC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Club Date Musicians: Playing the New York Party Circuit (Music in American Life) (Hardcover)

Having been in the industry covered by this book it was enlightening to see how it played out long after I left the club date end of music in New York.
