I'm sure that this most worthy book will fulfil the needs of Brubeck students and neophytes* Steve Voce, Jazz Journal *
Crist's engagingly written musicological tour de force takes us behind the scenes of a landmark jazz album. All of Dave Brubeck's many fans ought to take some time out to read this fascinating book. * Benjamin Givan, author of The Music of Django Reinhardt *
We needed this monograph on one of the most famous jazz albums ever! Crist has drawn on extensive private correspondence to illustrate Brubeck's efforts at self-promotion, his involvement in civil rights, and more. One gets to be a fly on the wall during the recording process, take by take, and to analyze each piece in detail, with ample musical notation. * Lewis Porter, jazz pianist, author, and Professor Emeritus of Music, Rutgers University at Newark *
