AnnotationBen Ratliff started writing for the New York Times in 1966, publishing his critical biography of John Coltrane in 1997. After all those years writing reviews and portraits of hosts of important jazz artists, he takes a more personal approach in THE JAZZ EAR, sitting down to talk about music with 15 living artists. Opting for a more comfortable scenario than the on-the-spot blindfold tests many magazines subject artists to, Ratliff asked the musicians--including Sonny Rollins, Dianne Reeves, Ornette Coleman, Andrew Hill, Wayne Shorter, Pat Metheny, and Maria Schneider--to select their talking pieces, and their choices reveal as much as their comments on them.
