I have one big problem with this book, namely the author's style. Freeman expresses himself "fan" style, much like a pre-pubescent teenager gushing about a heartthrob-of-the-week. While I respect Freeman's right to express his opinions about the music being discussed, his style is a great distraction. Freeman's approach can best be described as "Beavis and Butthead"-style, except that he is adulating free improv recordings instead of heavy metal videos. This is silly....The interview content is interesting and the format and layout of the book are respectable, but Freeman doesn't really add much to the discourse. He writes on the jacket, "If you don't agree with me, write your own book and I'll read it." How about this quote from ME, Phil? "I'll pass on your book and buy some music."
