Well thought-through and argued, 11 Jan 2011

This review is from: Bounce: How Champions are Made (Paperback)

I can add little to the other reviews other than to say that this is an excellent read. There is no substitute for purposeful practice.

However, there is one huge error in the book. Kenny G did not invent circular breathing on the saxophhone. A host of 60's and '70's saxophonists (Roland Kirk, Evan Parker, Pharoah Sanders to name a few) would be horrified. I hope this will be amended in the 2nd Edition.
