Book Reviews of Moving to Higher Ground: How Jazz Can Change Your Life
Book Review: Not Moved
Summary: 2 Stars
I read it with great interest because i'm a longtime follower and fan of jazz from Buddy Bolden to the present day, but I cannot say that the book illustrated how jazz can change anyone's life. I just don't get it. He's a bright guy and a pretty fair writer, but it struck me as no more than a laundry list of observations about jazz and life. He's also very opinionated, which some will like and as many will not. One positive-This book caused me to go back a listen to all of my Wynton, and that's a good thing.
