• "You make a very strong, positive impression on me in many ways: your fairness to the other side; your concern for jazz artists not just as machines grinding out entertainment but also as human beings, often exploited and self-destructive; your very precise, logical, verbal distinctions; your honesty about your negative traits; your idealism in your giving yourself so fully, even so fanatically, to a cause in which you believe. I don't see many of my fellow lovers of classical music sacrificing to promote it in the way that you have promoted jazz." JM
• $B!H(BJazz Expos$(D??(B is sure to be a good, gossipy, 135-page read.

• $B!H(BYour book brought to me a refreshment of memories about the music, people and places that you and I have loved for most of our lives. I would have enjoyed following you around before and after the Museum, carrying your briefcase, seeking contributions to keep things going. The book has renewed my interest in doing something appropriate with the scores of LPs from the 1950s, 60s and beyond. Retirement next year will benefit that effort. Thank you for the book. Thank you for working so hard to do things well.$B!I(B DB

* $B!H!D(Bjazz scholars and fans will find gem after gem of knowledge packed tight within the thin volume. It seems as if Fischer had enough material to fill a book three or four times this size; such an expansion would be well warranted by the sheer quality and amount of information.
Though flawed, the first three-quarters of the book make for fascinating reading, if only because this information has probably not been collected anywhere else to date. Jazz fans will encounter stories and tales about the likes of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Benny Goodman that are not on record in print anywhere else.$B!I(B Blogcritics.org.
• $B!H(BFischer was the key figure in the creation of the New York Jazz Museum in 1972, an establishment that lasted until 1977, yet has somehow been essentially stricken from the history books$B!D(B.Why this hasn't gotten more currency or exposure within the jazz world is a mystery, because the story presented iin Jazz Expos$(D??(B clearly merits more recognition and evaluation.$B!I(B Nashvillecitypaper.com.
$B!H(BFischer's story is an eye-opening account of the legal hassles and business strategies enendemic to such ventures, but is also full of great jazz stories involving many major musicians of the early and mid-1900's who were still flourishing at the time.$B!I(B Cadence Magazine
