“This graphic treatment adds a new dimension to a music book that was already hailed as a classic. This represents a new experience for readers, one with an immediacy and vitality that text alone might never approach… They provide an entertaining, lively narrative with profiles that match the spirit, drawings that seem as musical as the music described within the text.”
