Links between cricket and music have been written about at some length, as has the importance of calypso, but little has appeared to document the affinity between cricket and jazz. This book redresses the balance with reference to those involved in both, through history and anecdotes, and in the social background of their parallel development.

"I like it when nobody, neither the participants nor the audience, knows what's going to happen or how it's going to turn out, which is the link between cricket and jazz." Richard Williams

Read about.... the saxophonist who took a Test match hat-trick the jazz club that made the West Indian team honorary members the trombonist tipped as a future England wicket-keeper the bowler who became a highly regarded bassist in New York the tenor player who wrote a tune dedicated to spin bowler Jim Laker the Indian batsman given a signed photo by Ella Fitzgerald .....and much more!
