sgcim Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Just finished the book. Hopefully they're not going to make too big a deal out of JA's issues... Maybe it will create two or three more jazz fans... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it will create two or three more jazz fans... I think that it will be pretty hard to avoid his "issues". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 In fact, I think that's the whole point. I doubt there will be much music altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 NY Times review of the film: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/24/movies/low-down-on-growing-up-with-joe-albany.html?module=Search&mabReward=relbias%3Aw%2C%7B%222%22%3A%22RI%3A15%22%7D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 the book is brilliant, I think; haven't seen the movie (don't think I can take it), but the TImes review was very dumb, I thought. Clearly by someone who had not a clue about Joe or what he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Just picked up a new copy of the book for £3. Interesting read ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
