Reviews for Giants Of Jazz

""A brilliant, easy read . . . as a jazz primer it would be impossible to surpass."" --MOJO ""Marvelous and moving. . . . This book is like a great jazz solo, but instead of using a sax and notes, Terkel uses a pen and words."" --Chicago Tribune ""An ideal introduction [to jazz] for the young reader."" --The Texas Observer ""Who better to fashion these thirteen profiles of jazz greats than Studs Terkel?"" --The Dallas Morning News
