A Very Interesting ReadBy Jim BrownOne of the great things about this book is the window it provides into the time that Bechet; one of the early jazz masters; came of age.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Bechets way or No WayBy QuantrillThis is a fascination confession of one of the great jazz musicians of the twentieth-century. I say confession because Bechet was a controversial man. He seemed to want to dominate every musical undertaking; especially the jazz jam in which each person is supposed to be equal to everyone else. Bechet would have none of this. It was his way or no way. This book helps us to understand his deep-seated insecurities and helps to explain why whenever he plays his soprano saxophone or clarinet; his is the loudest and most emphatic solo on the recording. He was a great technician and composed some of the most emotional songs of Nawlins music. It is written in first-person narrative; which keeps the book close to the reader. It is as if you are there when some of the most important moments in early jazz happen.11 of 12 people found the following review helpful. The Greatest Jazz BiographyBy Jonathan A. WeissSicney Bechet was one of the few geniuses jazz has produced. His authobioraphy is the best book anyone has published about the roots; development and meaning of jazz. His accounts of racial struggles; his travels; and most of all. his opinions about music and musicians provide more and more unique insights than any other volume I have ever read. Introduced by Rudi Blesh who has written two excellent books himself; this work is a necessary addition for anyone interested in Black history; American history; jazz history; music; and the experience of a great man in those contexts.
