"No other book of interviews I know brings you closer to what it's really like to make music for a living. These lively conversations offer unique insights into the practical and artistic decisions that musicians face in their daily working lives. You come away from them with a better appreciation of the musician's art and craft."

- Ed Hazell, Freelance Jazz Critic

"This collection of interviews reflects a profound contribution to the realm of jazz and pop music. From the concert stage to less visible, behind-the-scenes roles such as composition, arranging, and recording, the artistic accomplishments of Berklee alumni make life more pleasurable and meaningful. This book is filled with insights into what makes a professional musician tick."
