Philip tweets: ''I HAVE NEWS. Thrilled to announce that ‘Beautiful Dreamer’, my biography of guitarist @BillFrisell (who celebrates his 70th birthday today), is to be published by @FaberBooks, spring 2022. Hard to think of a better home or, in @alexavh, a better editor.
Of interest: Alexa von Hirschberg (@alexavh) publishing director of Faber Books, who has promoted gigs at Camden's Green Note venue, is the partner of another very fine jazz guitarist, Moss Freed.
Philip tells marlbank: ''Publication rescheduled to spring 2022, as you'll see, because of Covid.''
