"The definitive work on Bechet. This is one of those rare books that once started you have difficulty putting down."--Jazz Journal Fifty years after hearing Sidney Bechet (1897-1959) in 1923, Duke Ellington recalled, "I have never forgotten the power and imagination with which he played." The first great jazz soloist, Bechet was a genius of the clarinet and the notoriously difficult soprano saxophone. In a career that spanned five decades and two continents he worked with Bunk Johnson, King Oliver, Duke Ellington, Josephine Baker, Jelly Roll Morton, and Louis Armstrong. He was a giant in early New Orleans jazz and a pioneer of improvisation whose contribution to the music, from the traditional to the avant-garde, has been a vital and lasting one. This biography reveals with insight and precision the man and his music, and illuminates the many events obscured by Bechet's own highly readable but factually suspect autobiography, Treat It Gentle.Binding Type: Paperback

It’s okay
Format: Paperback
I’m a veteran RN who left nursing to raise my family. I let my license expire because I did not have to work, nor did I want to. I was burnt out. Anyway, I decided to get my license reinstated and instead of doing expensive refresher courses, I’m taking the NCLEX. Again. After 18 years. I just wanted to brush up on some of the topics and procedures. I don’t know… this book was okay. It was nice to have access to all the practice questions, but I did notice that a lot of times, the “correct” answers went directly against what it says in the book. I feel like that’s confusing, especially for a new grad nurse who doesn’t have much time in the field. Anyway, I wouldn’t buy this again, but I’m testing tomorrow, so we will see how it goes!
