Historical Jazz Conversations
By JaRon K. Eames
Review by Rex Reed
I have so enjoyed this book. Your interviews are polished, professional, and very informed, and the book you compiled of Jazz Conversations is a joy to peruse. You seemed to have learned the valuable secret of how to get people to open up candidly by making them feel comfortable. As a result, the rapport you established with your subjects is enviable.
I was especially happy that you included some of my own friends i.e. Maggie Whiting, Grady Tate, Altovise Davis, and Anita O’day. I learned a lot from your conversations with them, and congratulate you on a collection that is both entertaining and enlightening.
I was also really delighted to hear you sing. You really should be appearing on a regular basis in New York clubs. I would come to hear you In a New York minute. Keep up the good work.

Sex, drugs and rock and roll. What a ball the late 1960s weresome ...

JAZZTIMES New York vocalist JaRon Eames phrases expertly, swings righteously, and warbles dynamically on this compelling independently- produced debut album of 11 jazz-blues classics by Louis Jordan, Jerome Kern, T. Bone Walker, Buddy Johnson and others. In any tempo, Eames demonstrates commendable mid-range vocal control and precise sense of time.

What a thrill to have taught six Jazz History classes at Old Westbury University. I loved it more than I can say, and hope to do more teaching. Thanks to Jazz Vocalist Melba Joyce my book was part of the curriculum, and sharing the knowledge with students was a joy.
