Reviews

“This book is the result of an unusual mix: a jazz musician turned journalist turned music professor. The musician understands the field; the journalist understands the interview; and the professor understands the need to learn and teach others, both aficionados and beginners.” – Dr. Bradley J. Hamm, Indiana University School of Journalism

“It is clear that Dr. Erdmann’s experience, first and foremost as a musician of the first order, and as an interviewer and writer, pay great dividends. He has interviewed trumpeters of every stripe, and in each case, both in his questions and in the subsequent article, his expertise becomes evident.” – Prof. James L. Olcott, Miami University
