Query: Opinionated and Short Sighted

i purchased this book a long time ago, thinking that it would be a great addition to my collection of books on jazz. I quickly learned that the author has very limited taste. If you purchase this book in order to help you decide what recordings to purchase you will miss great white jazz artists such as: Jimmy Knepper, Jimmy Raney, Bob Brookmeyer, Stan Getz, Bud Shank, Zoot Sims, Tal Farlow, Chet Baker, Pepper Adams, Warne Marsh, Lee Konitz, Lennie Tristano, Phil Woods, and on and on. Apparently as far as the author is concerned the accomplishments these and other great white musicians achieved either did not amount to much, or, perhaps, he has never heard of them. I recently turned my copy over to the folks at Half-Price Books. It was either that or the trash can for this opinionated piece of trash.
