The view from within :jazz writings, 1948-1987

Keepnews offers a fine intellectual autobiography just by selecting his favorite writings and stitching them together with a little reflective continuity. In eight chapters, he loosely follows the progress of his passion for jazz and rounds up pieces on the same subject such as traditional jazz, the "Transition" in his own and others' taste from traditional to modern jazz, "What I Do for a Living" and so on. He caps the collection with a well-considered blast at the predominently poor quality of jazz reviewing over the years. He also writes about musicians' lives and artistic personalities. Since he has worked with such titans as Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley, Wes Montgomery, and above all Thelonius Monk at the height of his creativity, Keepnews' views are vital for jazz lovers.
