I just finished this recently - far and away the BEST Christmas gift I
received!  I enjoyed it a lot, but found it a little "padded out" in places,
especially some of the detail about Charles Mingus and Georgia O'Keefe.
Still a very well put together biography, although the ending was also odd.
I turned the page expecting to read more, and there was nothing, it just
kind of stopped!

Still (despite the criticism) the best so far, by a mile - comparing it to
Brian Hinton's is like comparing "Of Mice and Men" to "See Spot Run"!


Hell - still waiting for the absolutely definitive work on Joni - the
autobiography!
