I'm reading about Sonny Criss in a book called West Coast Jazz (recomended) so this will give me a nice taste of what he was all about. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the book recommendation, les. I just read the review on amazon and it sounds like a good book. Have you seen a documentary series called Jazz: A Film By Ken Burns? It used to air on PBS and i've watched this series many many times. My favorite one is Episode 8 because It talks a lot about Charlie Parker. Some of the earlier episodes can be a bit boring, but you should definitely check this one out.
