Title: Do not trust this man
Review: May be Mr Palmer is a good English teacher, but this book is a disaster. You'll find no details on the biography of one of the world greatest improvisers EVER. Instead the author feeds the reader with his very personal (and seldom valuable)judgments on the music, citations from other critics and pseudo-important academic bla-blas. The writing is sloppy, you can find a mysterious trumpeter Kinny Dorham (the name every jazz fan knows as Kenny), he forces Mr. Rollins to be born in 1929 pushing him one year back (he was born on 9/7/1930), attached sheet music contains a lot of errors and St Thomas is transposed half tone up. My advice - if you are a real fan of Mr. Rollins do not buy this reading will irritate you and raise your blood pressure.
