Rezension zu „But Beautiful “
*'Remarkable...there can be few books on jazz written with such tenderness and care.' - Times Literary Supplement* *'May be the best book ever written about jazz' - David Thomson, Los Angeles Times Book Review* *'Brilliant ... (Dyer's) attempts to recreate the drug-fogged, music-drenched, reality-melting, racism crazed insides of the minds of people like Powell, Mingus, Webster and Chet Baker are unnervingly effective' - Miles Kington, Independent on Sunday*
