Query: Doesn't Get Down

Sorry, I have to blast this book. It drags. The man just lists the names of famous folks and his stories sag. There is no drama, no insight, nothing new. If you are looking for something that will enrich his music or give you an insiders view of the jazz scene, this book will not satisfy. I doubt I will ever finish it.
