	Two Full Ears - Listening to Improvised Music [SWB2]
	Steve Day’s ‘Two full Ears’ is not yet another introduction to Jazz. Instead, its pages are crammed both with the music itself and the process of the interaction between playing and listening. The book is a description of one man’s passion for Jazz and improvised music written from the perspective of the listener. Steve Day writes with authority about a music that has been circling around his ears for over a couple of decades. Whilst there is plenty of attention to musical detail, the book sets out to record what it is like to really listen, backed up by 17 tracks on the free accompanying CD, that contains much of the actual music he refers to in the books 22 chapters.

	Ornette Coleman Music Always [SWB4]
	In this fascinating study of Ornette Coleman, Steve Day focuses his writing skills on one individual, the legendary alto saxophone player whose name is synonymous with the birth and development of "Free Jazz". Ornette Coleman changed the whole rationale behind jazz music. Leonard Bernstein called him a genius, Dizzy Gillespie once asked if he was serious. No player before or since has managed to split critical opinion so decisively.
