Rezensionen

A beautifully conceptualized, composed and articulated book, Sven Bjerstedt explores the story-telling qualities of Jazz performances and the musicality of theater. Based on in-depth, meticulous interviews with leading figures in both jazz improvisation and theater, interwoven with rich and informed scholarship, this manuscript is a compelling read.
