"The Coltrane book arrived yesterday. I opened it and planned to just read a couple of pages and read the rest another day when I had more time. About 40 minutes later I finished the last page. It is the best tribute I have ever read, but far more, it captures the true essence of art itself, in a way that only the best can. A tremendous work! You are a throwback to a better time in literature when genius was quite standard."
