A Life's Journey,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kiss and Tell : Autobiography of a Travelling Musician (Hardcover)
Whether you're a guitarist, Taylor fan, jazz musician or just like to read good biographies, this book will keep you captivated. Taylor and Mead give you a depiction of what a life can become when you follow your heart and let life, with all it's foibles, be your teacher. Not only is Taylor an extremely gifted musician but I would say he's a bit of a gypsy, as well. The list of people he has played with is literally a "WHo's WHo?" of All-Time Jazz Greats, some well know and some obscure. The book is not only an easy read but it's also filled with interesting tidbits and funny anecdotes.
