About the author

Ken Vail trained as a graphic designer and for 25 years developed his own graphic design business. The company moved from corporate work into publishing, specialising in designing highly illustrated educational books. In 1996 Ken Vail retired from the business to indulge his life-long interest in jazz. He self-published his first book, Jazz Milestones, which was critically acclaimed, leading to commissions for a series of Jazz Diaries which yielded Bird's Diary, Lady Day's Diary, Miles? Diary, and the two-part Duke's Diary. Vail is now working on the new series of Jazz Itineraries and a scrapbook of the Swing Era.
