520    During his nearly forty years as a music journalist, Ralph
       J. Gleason recorded many in-depth interviews with some of 
       the greatest jazz musicians of all time. These informal 
       sessions, conducted mostly in Gleason's Berkeley, 
       California, home, have never been transcribed and 
       published in full until now. This remarkable volume, a 
       must-read for any jazz fan, serious musician, or 
       musicologist, reveals fascinating, little-known details 
       about these gifted artists, their lives, their personas, 
       and, of course, their music. Bill Evans discusses his 
       battle with severe depression, while John Coltrane talks 
       about McCoy Tyner's integral role in shaping the sound of 
       the Coltrane quartet, praising the pianist 
       enthusiastically. Included also are interviews with Dizzy 
       Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Quincy Jones, Jon Hendricks, and
       the immortal Duke Ellington, plus seven more of the most 
       notable names in twentieth-century jazz.
