description: Given South Africas venerable jazz tradition its perhaps surprising its taken so long for more fundis to be tapped for their responses to our kind of jazz. But it takes a special brew of ingredients for this kind of book to come together. You need an inspired guiding spirit such as editor and jazzwoman-in-words Myesha Jenkins and you need a vat in which the ingredients can mix and bubble. Youll find everything here in To breathe into another voice : faithful and fantastical accounts of the jazz life and jazz people as well as reflections on the music as a metaphor for how we live  or maybe more importantly how wed like to live. All you need to do now is open the covers start reading and dance joyously about the architecture. Gwen Ansel
