Winner of the PEN/Faulkner award. One of the LA Times Book Review's 100 Best Books of 1997.
The hero of this sensational first novel is a n alto-sax virtuoso trying to evolve a personal style out of Coltrane and Rollins. He also happens to be a walking, talking, Blake- and Shakespeare-quoting bear whose musical, spiritual, and romantic adventures add up to perhaps the best novel, ursine or human, ever written about jazz.
