[Scott · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting exploration into the masterful Saxophonist that shaped various forms of the Blues.

It comes with a CD and sheet music as well as quick but heavy musical breakdowns of each musician covered.

My one critique is that the author sometimes assumes the we will understand what certain words mean or who some people are by their nicknames. A clearer explanation would have been helpful.
