Just finished this fabulous book. Fantastic! A must read for ANY jazz enthusiast.  :thumb:

Packed with details of JC's life and his music. Especially his music, which is well explained on both macro (explorations, directions and style) and micro (sheet music) levels. I now have FAR more appreciation for his music, especially the final years which, for me, require explanation to even begin to appreciate. I agree with what McCoy Tyner once said ... John's presence shows that "God still speaks to man" and sends us "messengers".
