Title: Narrow, mean-spirited, begging for attention
Product review: This author certainly wanted to gain attention andperhaps create a reputation as an enfant terrible amongjazz writers. He makes some stupid claims, attacks otherwriters and muscians, and seems to think all of the recordingsmade by the musicians he profiles are worth owning.Matthew Shipp better than Cecil Taylor?Derek Bailey's playing sounds autistic?Please.Plus, he seems to be kissing up to Ware, Parker, Shipp,and company in much the same way he criticizes other jazzwriters.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
