- Comments: First Edition. Thirteen original essays from one of the world's greatest jazz writers draw together observations on the craft of the arranger. Ranging from big bands to studio backings for singers, Lees brings his characteristic blend of personal and inside knowledge, keen reportage and trenchant criticism to bear on major figures in music arrangement. His portrait of Miles Davis's arranger Gil Evans is one of the few essays written on this significant composer.

SUMMARY
"The fact that Gene Lees chooses to write about jazz and jazz-related subjects has been a source of continuing pleasure to those of us who, for the past twenty years, have subscribed to his occasional Jazzletter, from which these thirteen essays have been drawn. They are unhurried excursions down the quiet byways of jazz to remote, and sometimes long-forgotten, destinations to meet with those often uncelebrated musicians, the arrangers.Lees, Gene is the author of 'Arranging the Score Portraits of the Great Arrangers' with ISBN 9780304704880 and ISBN 0304704881.
