Footprints - The Life and Work of Wayne Shorter

Filled with musical analysis by Mercer, enlivened by Shorter''s vivid recollections and enriched by more than seventy-five original interviews with his friends and associates, this book is at once an invaluable history of music from bebop to pop, an intimate and moving biography and a story of a man''s struggle toward the full realization of his gifts and of himself.
