Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-02 00:00:00 Matthew Hughes Cross-posted from my blog where there's more information on where I got my copy and everything. You know, this was interesting. The author is obviously very passionate about jazz, and the respect and knowledge really does show in the writing. While this has not aged incredibly well, it’s interesting and I think at the time, it was doing some neat things. The writing style is not my favourite, but the story was interesting, so it’s not a total loss. This is another one that would be interesting to read a modern version or equivalent, perhaps. I don’t think I’m going to keep it, but I’m glad I read it.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-07-12 00:00:00 James Lester Sam is a good kid who is compulsively honest. He gets into trouble when a kid he doesn’t like throws a marijuana cigarette at him in the locker room and then leaves. Just then a teacher comes in and catches him and he is almost expelled. Only his reputation for always telling the truth saves him. Throughout this story Sam interviews an old Jazz trumpet player and makes friends with him. This friendship turns out to be extremely important in resolving the story. All in all I thought this was an ok book. Very quick read and pleasant, but not engrossing.
