BOOKS

The worst thing about this basically decent book is that it could easily have been a whole lot better. Biographies of jazz musicians are almost nonexistent (well, there are a couple on Satchmo) and the few that have appeared so far suffer from either over-intellectualization (the recent Miles Davis book, which eschewed biographical detail completely for turgid musicology) or superficiality.
