Summary: The Late Dick Wellstood
Review: Mr.Meyer claims not to be a writer, but he has done a superb job of this biography of the late jazz pianist Dick Wellstood. (the only biography of Wellstood) The personal information he garnered from Dick's family and fellow musicians is both revealing and insightful. Since the book includes a complete discography of all known Wellstood recordings, it is a "must have" for all admirers of one of the greatest jazz pianists in history. Sadly, Wellstood died in 1987 at the early age of 59, but this book brings him to life again for the reader.
