that translator reminds me of Really the Blues by Mezz Mezzrow. Mezz was on the edge of the jazz scene in the 40s or so. I never heard him play, but his autobiography is an energized thing. WCW even spotted it as a American classic of a sort. which I might dispute, but in the back Mezz serves to teach jive to the reader, and it's fascinating.
