Anyone wanting to know something or anything about jazz this is a book for that. With Dizzy Gillespie, Wynton Marseilles, and Duke Ellington names that most people recognized. I liked the interviews with John Hammond, Stanley couch, and my favorite Billy Eckstein who was a band leader and singer. If you can get a chance find a reproduction of any of his music and you will see what I mean. He was an awesome talent. I found this book to be a wonderful read and a good look at different jazz musicians.
