Publisher description: Who knew that a century's jazz history in Bellingham and Whatcom County was waiting to be discovered? Milt Krieger found this out and this book, six years in preparation and current to mid-2012, is the result. It draws on the writer's career as an academic historian and forty years of local experience teaching at Western Washington University and in retirement. Using private and public archive sources, photographs, recordings and live performances, it's a pioneer account of jazz in an unexpected "small town" setting.
