Re: Coltrane book?

[Kelly Kessler]

Hey, Neal, I'm probably past your gift-buying deadline, and I'm not even
exactly on-topic, but the jazz gem I've been enjoying lately is "Reading
Jazz: A Gathering of Autobiography, Reportage, and Criticism from 1919 to
Now" ed. by Robert Gottlieb. It's a chunky monkey, weighing in at 1000+
pages, but the contemporaneous writing and autobiographical material brings
the stuff to life by stripping away the intervening years of revisionist
hooha.  This puppy offers years of reading pleasure.
