Summary: Flibberty Jib On The Bibberty Bop
Review: Bruce Forman is the best jazz guitarist I've ever heard live; maybe ever. He's so quick and yet so lyrical. His riffs are terse and intense, emotional and cerebral. The only demerit he earns is in the length of his breaks. He's a friendly guy who likes to visit. He writes the same way. When the scene is happening, it's really happening, like the Big Sur riff at Post Ranch. But he takes too many breaks in the narrative and they last too long. And yet, the next riff is worth waiting for, just like his playing. Great promise for future efforts.

Summary: From a musician's perspective
Review: I read this book quickly, finishing up at 2:30 one morning...it's the kind of book that leaves you wanting more...The author, Bruce Forman did a great job of introducing me to the world of a jazz musician, wonderfully illustrating highs, lows, appoggiaturas and glissandos. The story ressembled delightful music, and an opportunity for me to learn about the life of a performer from a performance artist's perspective. I'm ready for the sequel...great first book!

Summary: A page turner
Review: What a great summer read! Had everything to keep interest going all through the book, with an exciting ending to boot. It really gave me a glimpse into a musician's world, and the fact that it takes place in some of the most beautiful settings in the world (Carmel-Big Sur-San Francisco)just added to the pleasure. Hope there are more of these to come.
