Baggenaes, a freelance writer from Denmark, conducted a series of interviews of jazz greats for Coda magazine that focus on the sheer enthusiasm these individuals had for their artistic medium. Dexter Gordon, Lee Konitz, Red Rodney and many other giants in the world of jazz speak with the author about their influences, their first gigs and their favorite colleagues. Written with a general (and jazz-loving) audience in mind, this book uses interviews from both the 1970s and '80s to provide a historic edge to the comments and observations.
