In a wide-ranging life, Hentoff made some vital contributions to Jazz. Some of the things I've personally found to be of great worth:
Co-author with Nat Shapiro of Hear Me Talkin' To Ya, an invaluable oral history of Jazz musicians.
As A&R Director of Candid Records, he was responsible for many great records, including:
Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus
Mingus
Cecil Taylor's The World Of..., Air, Cell Walk For Celeste, Jumpin' Punkins, and New York R&B
and many others...
I've always liked Nat Hentoff
Hear Me Talkin to Ya is a great way to get into the history of Jazz. You feel like you are there.
Synopsis:
"A work of considerable substance." — The New Yorker. In this marvelous oral history, the words of such legends as Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Jelly Roll Morton, Duke Ellington, and Billy Holiday trace the birth, growth, and changes in jazz over the years. Includes excerpts from hundreds of personal interviews, letters, tapes, and articles.
