Review:
[An] enthusiastic account of a musician's development as the thinking person's pianist. (The New York Times Book Review)

There are five requisites for a readable and valuable book on jazz: enthusiasm, wit, insight, compassion, and technical knowledge of the music. Gene Lees has them all. (Leonard Feather Los Angeles Times)

A fine, richly detailed book...that explains the essence of jazz and of jazz playing as well as any written. (The Toronto Sun)
