Writing for the Village Voice since 1973, Giddins has attracted a following that includes not only jazz enthusiasts but also pop music fans. This collection brings together thirty of his best articles. Many concern the temptations of commercialism and the compromises some artists have made -- from Sinatra singing songs unworthy of his talent to Sonny Rollins evolving different personalities for concerts and the recording studio.
