This literary jam session explores the many challenges and thrills of writing about jazz in various prose forms, including liner notes, memoirs, biographies, and critical guides. The distinguished writers interviewed in this collection obviously share a passion for jazz, and each has produced a hefty amount of literature that illuminates both the music and its practitioners.
