It’s a splendid thing when a master musician takes the time to write a book about his life in the music and his views on the direction the music is taking.

We talk with composer/bandleader/bassist Chuck Israels who has shared bandstands with Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Coleman Hawkins and was an integral part of Bill Evans’ creations.
