Junior Cook

[kh1958]

The Freddie Hubbard-Junior Cook quintet is in strong form on the new Jazz Icons DVD. It's really good.

Cook is on three of these (all but the 1969 date). A few sound issues on one of the dates (keys, not horns), but otherwise they smoke. Very much worth hearing.

Is it worthwhile? I do not know this author.

As Bertrand said.

I like Junior Cook's playing a lot. Would love to get some reviews of this book before laying out the money.

I helped the author - providing recordings and photos - so I plan to pick this up probably out of Christmas Amazon gift card.  I don't know if it will be at the top of my reading stack but I will post when I get to it.

BTW I started a thread in the Jazz in Print subforum.
