Reviews
A brilliant musician and a courageous exploration of his complex lifeto this point. Lorna Marsden, President emerita, York University, Canada
Life In Reverse is an impressive mosaic of the adventures and reflections of a jazz musician, a womens man, a black intellectual. Do not expect easy reading: this is not a run-of-the-mill autobiography, no self-analysis, no pop literature. Its raw, private, demanding, serious, fun, a great picture of our times. Dr. Hans Christian Hagedorn, Professor, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Spain
