“[H]istoric facts and figures about jazz with a fairly complete survey of its origins in slave songs, spirituals, minstrel shows, and Storyville flesh dens, as well as a chronicle of the rise of New Orleans trumpeter Louis Armstrong.” —Publishers Weekly (BookLife)

"It’s interesting to learn that Gershwin’s folk opera, Porgy and Bess, was initially a financial failure, and Gerber also delves into other aspects of Gershwin’s life, including his dietary habits, his relationships with women, and his love for fine art" -- Kirkus Reviews (recommended review)

"It will prove to be an enduringly popular addition to community, and academic library American Music History reference collections and supplemental studies reading lists."
-- The Midwest Book Review, Small Press Bookwatch
