Review: I have purchased this book at least six times. I reread it each year to savor the language like listening to my favorite jazz recordings. It is jazz in writing; melodic, improvisational, happy and sad. The writing is wonderfully descriptive. As I read I think of friends who would love this book and when I finish I send it off. Each copy I send never comes back. I hope they are passing it on to other jazz lovers when they finish. Thanks to your used book service I will continue to purchase this wonderful book,reread it and then send it off to a friend. May I never run out of books or friends, or come to think of it, money to buy more books.
Review: One of the best books on jazz - on a level of the the all time bestseller by Mez Mezzrow Really the Blues. Dmitri Savitski, jazz journalist RL/RFE
