Stanley Crouch
Stanley Crouch (born December 14, 1945, Los Angeles) is a music critic, columnist, and novelist perhaps best known for his jazz criticism and his novel Don't the Moon Look Lonesome?
During the early 1970s, Crouch moved from California to New York City, where he lived along with tenor saxophonist David Murray in a loft above an East Village club called the Tin Palace. Crouch conducted the booking for an avant-garde jazz series at the club, as well as organizing occasional concert events at the Ladies' Fort.
