During his nearly forty years as a music journalist, Ralph J.
Gleason recorded many in-depth interviews with some of the greatest jazz
musicians of all time. These informal sessions, conducted mostly in
Gleason’s Berkeley, California, home, have never been transcribed and
published in full until now.
This remarkable volume, a
must-read for any jazz fan, serious musician, or musicologist, reveals
fascinating, little-known details about these gifted artists, their
lives, their personas, and, of course, their music. Bill Evans discusses
his battle with severe depression, while John Coltrane talks about
McCoy Tyner's integral role in shaping the sound of the Coltrane
quartet, praising the pianist enthusiastically. Included also are
interviews with Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Quincy Jones, Jon
Hendricks, and the immortal Duke Ellington, plus seven more of the most
notable names in twentieth-century jazz.

Despite Gleason's ego and viewpoints, he did appreciate and like the music and the players, so this is good to have to preview.
