Kevin Whitehead does tell why!By lee brownKevin Whitehead has written the liveliest and; incidentally; the most compact and yet complete book on jazz you will find. His answer to the question posed in the title is simple; if a little misleadingly so: Once you learn something about how jazz works; you will realize how much fun it is. The books Q A format applies a little artificially now and then; but is easily ignored in those cases. The book benefits from the fact that KW is a colorful writer; a fact that sets him off from most jazz journalists and historians; and from all jazz theorists. Lee B.
