Summary: Forgotten gems by an unfairly neglected composer
Comment: Machlin, probably one of the world's leading experts on the brilliant, died-too-soon composer/performer/entertainer, Thomas F. "Fats" Waller, here takes us through a wealth of newly discovered sketches and compositions, *exhaustively* and elegantly transcribed. Machlin has a touch of Waller's puckish, dry humor (read the opening essay to see what a German-language newspaper said about one of Waller's shows). A must-have for any American music scholar/academic. Sadly, Machlin had not yet composed his wonderful contemporary satirical riff on the times we live in to the tune of Waller's "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter" when this tome was published, but it's worth tracking down--one can presumably contact Machlin through Colby College, where he teaches.
