The comments from Big Beat Steve were helpful in pointing to errors and omissions. However, I don't believe the book was intended to be a complete discography of every Prestige recording. I am reading the book with the understanding that it is the work of a person who truly loves jazz, especially that which is on the Prestige label. Though my opinion of various recordings may not always agree with that of the author, I nonetheless always find it interesting to see the opinion of others. My personal collection of Prestige recordings is very extensive, but this book inspires me to listen to many I have not heard in a long long time.

Back perhaps a couple of years ago Ken was diagnosed with an illness, and had to cancel some appearances. After a period of time he returned and seemed to be doing well. I have seen Ken play in person more than a dozen times over the past (roughly) 20 years. He was not only a fine clarinet and saxophone player, but was also a very funny guy who usually made humorous comments at his gigs. He will be missed. R.I.P.
