First Printing with complete number line, SIGNED by the author on the title page. An admirable biography of the great tenor saxophonist, a carefully researched, well-written account of Getz's deeply troubled and difficult life, so tragically at odds with an extraordinary musical gift which made him in the words of jazz critic, Gary Giddins, "the defiant romantic of postwar jazz, a modernist of unmistakable yearning lyricism and a virtuoso who dazzled critics and the public alike". In black boards, spine ends slightly pushed, else about fine, clean, tight, unmarked; in a like dust jacket, unclipped, with touch of shelf wear. Quite uncommon signed copy in collectible condition.
