Review title: Fascinating account of jazz life in the 50s Product review: I was never gripped by Bill Crow as a bass player. As an author and story writer however, his books are one of the most engaging I have come across amongst the plethora of writings that exist on the development of this great art form.Bill Crow has a natural gift for narration.He tells you all straight from the heart, of the lives and travails of musicians who one has heard so much but never got close to.His anecdotes brings them closer; as if they were living and breathing right next to you.And all, with a constant undercurrent of humour. He seeks no sympathy and there is no deprecation.Yet, one is saddened, sometimes angered, at the circumstances of the time. I ended up loving even more, all those musicians whose names are now etched in memory. I bought more copies of the book for my friends once I was done.

Review title: A difficult read from knowledgable authors. Product review: A difficult read. Decipher this, for example: "To transition to well-defined development practices, an organization needs to institutionalize a documented process that can be prescriptively applied to individual software systems development projects." This quote was taken from the first two pages of Chapter 1, "Motivation". When you have to read a sentence five times to understand it, it isn't very motivating. It doesn't get better. The figures appear to have been taken directly from a PowerPoint presentation, and do little to clarify the concepts. This could be a good book, as it appears to contain much useful information. It could use a thorough going-over by a technical writer and an illustrator, however.
