Title: Finally got around to reading this Review: A lot of water over the dam by now. I will just say as a mathematician and a deist, I am unimpressed. There's no humility. The "theistic evolutionists" Dembski condemns (not in this book, that came later) are impressive because they communicate a sense of honesty you just do not ever get from Dembski. He reminds me strongly of statistics obfuscator Bjorn Lomborg and also, frankly, of the radical sociobiologist Steven Pinker - unconcerned with science, in it for the polemics.This is a polemic. It's neither science nor theology. It's a pamphlet for the culture wars. I would write a longer review but Scott Ryan above hit every single note I would have and more, so it'd be redundant.Two, not one, stars, though, because it's not the worst thing this mendacious hack has written, by a long shot. It has sections of merit. Is the review positive or negative?
Negative

Title: The what and the why Review: The best educational book on jazz. Covers ride cymbal, comping, solo ideas, uptempo, brushes and has a good play along cd. All of the written words do a fantastic job of putting things in context. Mr. Riley clearly knows his stuff. "Beyond Bop Drumming" is also a great book for more advanced jazz playing. Is the review positive or negative?
Positive
