Anyone know this book? On Facebook, Ted Brown and others endorse it, but one person says that its portrait of Lee Konitz and Warne's feelings about him are false and scurrilous.

I see now that on that FB thread Warne's widow Geraldyne has added this:

"Warne loved Lee, I believe [he was] just upset they were not playing together as much as Warne would have liked. Warne knew everyone should play what they want and feel. He had a hard time letting go. Not everyone was as lucky as Warne, he always had backing from his mother."

Read it a while back, really enjoyed it. It's a novel, not a biography. I'd say go ahead and check it out, I don't see what's not to like if you keep in mind that it is a novel, not a biography.

That's the truth, right there.

from a coke-induced heart attack.

His autopsy revealed that his arteries were completely clean.
