    Late 60s book about new jazz scene, specifically Cecil Taylor, Ornette Coleman, Herbie Nichols and Jackie McClean. One of the main strengths of this book is that it is based on extensive interviews with the musicians profiled. In this way Spellman was able to get his subjects to talk not only about their particular style of jazz but also their childhoods, how they became musicians.
