Negative Positive
Title: Unusual and welcome
Review: As I read more and more about old jazzmen, it is striking just how many died early or unnecessary deaths. "Jazz and Death"fills an unusual and worthwhile niche.The only complaint I have is that Dr. Spencer tends to editorialize at length on the justifications for marijuana laws, etc. Not that I don't agree completely. He also (in the introduction -and- the conclusion) draws attention to the very tenuous links between the history of jazz and the history of medicine.A wonderful and engrossing read.
