- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An exciting read that goes in one breath. It gives a privilege to take an inside look at the jazz scene and the way the industry works from both its incredible and dark sides. I loved the honesty of Mr. Gary Burton and that he dares to share all his emotional and personal insights of his journey thus far. Touching, intriguing, surprising and educational. All you want about the inner side of jazz is in this book. :)
