John Gennari is assistant professor of English at the University of Vermont, where he also directs the African, Latino, and Native American Studies program.
"Finally, a book that lays bare the inner workings of jazz criticism! John Gennari's Blowin' Hot and Cool probes this fascinating story-behind-the-story, revealing how our appreciation of the music has been irreversibly shaped by a handful of influential writers who never recorded a solo or wrote a chart. This book belongs on the shelf of any serious fan of jazz." - Ted Gioia, author of The History of Jazz"
