Mingus/Mingus: Two Memoirs (Paperback) by Janet Coleman, Al Young |
my rating:

recommended for: people already somewhat familiar with Mingus' bio, fans of bad writing about jazz
read in September, 2008 
Patrick said:
"Memoirs from two friends, Janet Coleman and Al Young, who knew Mingus when they were young adults and he was considerably older. This is not a heavy-duty bio, but a series of impressionistic sketches. Despite its flaws, it did add to my understandin...more

read in August, 2008
Patrick said:
"Really clever approach, using the Cuban Missile Crisis as a framing device for the stint at the Apollo when this was recorded. Lots of good info about Brown,the album, live show, and recording. However, the tie-in with the Cuban Missile Crisis, whi...more

Forever Changes (Thirty Three and a Third series) by Andrew Hultkrans |
my rating:
|
|
recommended for: love fans,
read in August, 2008
Patrick said:
"Interesting take on Forever Changes, especially the relationship to gnosticism and Marat/Sade. Hultkrans does a good job of situating FC in late 1960s LA culture.

Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime (33 1/3) by Michael T. Fournier (Goodreads author!) |
my rating:
|
|
recommended for: minutemen fans, minutemen curious
read in August, 2008
Patrick said:
"Enjoyable and includes some good info about DNOTD. However, I thought this was one of the more pedestrian efforts of the 33 1/3 series. It wasn't bad at all, just a bit on the dull side.

Gary's
review of Geography for Christian Schools: Map Exercises:
" This is a big beautiful art book containing a giant fold-out map that is mostly blank WHITE space (a la the minimalists) with one small blob in the middle labeled "The Holy Land." The exercises included in the back consist of questions...more " | |

Gary's
review of Student activities in life science for Christian schools: Teacher's edition:
" My favorite thing about this book is that you don't have to read about all that hard evolution stuff. Talk about a time-saver! And as it is from Bob Jones University Press, you know it's got to be good. " | |
