When jazz musicians get together, they often delight one another with stories about the great, or merely remarkable, players and singers they’ve worked with. One good story leads to another until someone says, amid the laughter, "Somebody ought to write these down!" With Jazz Anecdotes, somebody finally has.

You can count on Congress to provide a good laugh. Take, for instance, the Senator who talked about the war in "Indigo China," or the Representative who asked why the Israelis and Arabs couldn’t settle their differences "like good Christians." But the U.S. Congress has always been much more than a good source of comedy.
