LISTEN TO THE STORIES

Nat Hentoff on Jazz and Country Music

Nat Hentoff

REVIEWS:
"Thank God for Nat, who places the soul of the musician above that of his art."
-Dizzy Gillespie

"Nat Hentoff's last book on music was published nineteen years ago, and in the interim readers may have forgotten how well he writes on the subject....The book's title immediately signals Mr. Hentoff's primary strength: a great ear for a story."
-New York Times
