Twice - two separate times, my ordered copy of this - to me essential book - got "lost" in the mail between The U.S. and Rio de Janeiro. I feel bereft not yet to have had the detailed and passionately told story in my hands - but I'll be placing a third order and crossing my fingers! (All my favorite piano players come from Detroit - from Fr. Flanagan to Hugh Lawson to Kirk Lightsey, Sir Roland and Hank Jones HIMSELF! This just has to be one of the most important book published on jazz - PERIOD!
