Praise For In The Groove:
“Reading Ted Fox’s work can be a deceptively pleasurable experience. Like his earlier book – the classic Showtime at the Apollo – In The Groove gives the appearance of having been put together with the greatest of ease – and it undoubtedly was. But it is an ease born of a thorough familiarity with the subject and a deep devotion to its practitioners. It is no small achievement to get people to talk with the kind of insightful enthusiasm that appears on page after page of this book, but Ted Fox seems without fail to bring out the best in his subjects.”—Peter Guralnick, author of Sweet Soul Music, Last Train To Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley, and Dream Boogie: The Triumph of Sam Cooke
“You’ve got to read this book carefully. It’s a killer!”—Doc Pomus, legendary songwriter
“Even those who think they know about the record business have something to learn from this incisive collection of interviews.”—Dan Morgenstern, Director, Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers
“I rarely have been so impressed by a book. Ted Fox’s probing questions and the energetic repartee result in a most engaging, informative and educational book for casual music lovers as well as industry insiders.”—Tony Bongiovi, co-owner, Power Station Studios

TED FOX is also the author of Showtime at the Apollo: The Story of Harlem’s World Famous Theater. He is a Huffington Post blogger, and produces and manages Grammy-winner Buckwheat Zydeco and lives in upstate New York.

Editorial Reviews for In The Groove:
“Fox has a knack for getting out of the way and letting the subject open up. What these guys have to say is priceless.”—(NY) Daily News
“A collection of anecdotes and articulate insights…a collection of interviews with producers that evolves into a mini-history of pop culture.”—New York Newsday
“A down-and-dirty beauty for pop and jazz fans.”—Kirkus
“An authoritative set of interviews with key music producers.”—Boston Globe
