I finished "Listening To Prestige" earlier today. It was definitely the type of book I was able to read on and off over a number of weeks . Much of the book's discussion of musicians who recorded for Prestige was familiar to me, though every so often I discovered something of which I was unaware.
As I said in a previous post, the book caused me to listen to some albums on Prestige that I had not heard in a long long time. Though I would not consider the book an essential read for jazz fans, I did enjoy it and am glad I read it.
