It is an AWESOME,BRILLIANT and an FANTASTIC book with FANTASTIC stories and an BRILLIANT and an enjoyable read. This book was co written with Ashley Kahn an author, journalist, educator and production manager who has been in the music business since the 1980's and Hal Miller an jazz drummer who is also an a writer, an lecturer at music institutions and an collector of jazz videos.
