Recently, a gentleman named Scott Yanow emailed me.  This was a nice surprise, because I know of him, but had no idea he’d ever heard of me.

Mr. Yanow is the author of many jazz books as well as a noted jazz critic.  I’ve read lots of his work in jazz reference books and websites.  In fact, if you go to a site like AllMusic.com and search for biographies of jazz artists or reviews of classic albums chances are the entry you will find was written by him.  For example:

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:kxfwxqrgldje 

So, Mr. Yanow is always on the lookout for new jazz artists and albums.  As a result my disc got a hit on his radar.

He contacted me to tell me about his business reviewing jazz albums.  I sent him a CD and he graciously wrote a review for me.  He gave me permission to post it on my website.  So, I put it here:

I thank Mr. Yanow for the wonderful review!
