to write about the music with any frequency, she offers a perspective on the men and women who
play jazz for a living that seldom finds its way into print."New York Times

"Marian McPartland is that rare combination, a first rank jazz musician who also can write about her
music, its milieu and musicians. [She] writes with wit, acumen, and vivacity."San Diego Union
