"Lester Leaps In" Pres bio

[Lush Life]

I picked up a paperback copy of the Lester Young "Lester Leaps In" bio written by Douglas Daniels last week. Has anyone here read it, and if so, what do you think?

I'll admit I'm struggling through it, the first 100 pages have been little more than conjecture and guesswork on Daniels' part about anything factual about Pres.

Does the book get better, or is this going to be a hard slogging read every step of the way for me?

I have not read it, but people's whose word I trust have been on the negative side -

"Tough" reading indeed, but not without a lot of merit in the end, I think.

Yup.
