Jazz music in their creators' own words. A fine job by Shapiro and Hentoff. Hentoff tends to be opinionated, but here he's just a compiler.

I first read this book at The University of Michigan over twenty years ago, and gave my copy away to a friend over 15 years ago, who.to my surprise ().was married to a drummer for a very famous Jazz musician mention in this book.,.and I now just ordered a copy for my library.and to read over. and over again.Excellent "quotes" from some of the most influential players in original American music history.A 'must have' for anyone seriously interested in the origins of Jazz, it roots, it's movement up the Missippi to Chicago.And it's told from the people who not only played it.but also lived it.If you finished reading this review, then this book is probably for you.A very good reed.

What more could you ask for. This is a great book. It is the story of Jazz, as told by the men and women that made it. For the serious Jazz fan or for anyone interested in music history this book is a must. Why read what critics and journalist have to say when you can get it, 'straight from the horses' mouth'.

Highly recomended. This is a compilation of excerpts from interviews, letters, autobiographies, and articles with jazz musicians, both greats and less well known musicians who have good stories to tell.

Anyone who has been into jazz for some time who hasn't read "Hear Me Talkin' To Ya" yet is missing a real treat. This is a great introduction to Jazz History for anyone just becoming interested in the subject.
