Valery Ponomarev : On the Flip Side of Sound before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised On the Flip Side of Sound:

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Stellar Storyteller and Inspirational StoryBy Nina d'AlessandroThis is an extraordinary memoir by Valery Ponomarev, a marvelous storyteller in music and, apparently, in any spoken or written language. How he got from Soviet Russia where he was a child prodigy on the trumpet, to escaping from behind the Iron Curtain, joining his hero 's Messengers, and becoming a treasured jazz artist here in the US and around the world, is a charming, enlightening story, a testament to the power of belief, discipline, and focus, without which talent goes nowhere or not very far . . . But it's his determination to do the impossible--after first hearing American jazz on Willis Conover's late night broadcasts and on purloined recordings that were passed from hand to hand in secret among his jazz-obsessed friends--and his eventual success that make this story so inspiring to my students, and to me. Ponomarev knows how to tell the story. His book is a joy to read. It belongs in the canon of jazz memoir. And it is a rich, revealing window into life and values under midcentury Communism, and the power of American jazz to offer new dreams of hope and freedom to people who struggled against a tyranny of the spirit.

Comments on the book: "Valery Ponomarev's story is electrifying and inspiring. Most of all, it's living proof that dedication to truth and beauty can and must triumph over artificially imposed impediments."Bob Bernotas (Jazz journalist, author, and radio host) Finally, the world gets to read Valery Ponomarev's story! The main points are that in addition to being a fine trumpet player, Valery is a skilled storyteller and that his story never fails to enchant, inform and inspire my students and that now the world will get to hear it.Nina d'Alessandro (Professor, Faculty of Arts and Science, New York University)

About the AuthorI thought I knew this man - a great friend and colleague with whom I've often toured over the past 15 or so years - pretty well, but after reading this memoire, my eyes were really opened! Fascinating! Valery Ponomarev's skill with storytelling nearly matches his prowess with the trumpet, and the content of his remarkable stories - and of course his outstanding playing - is rich, intelligent, humorous, and naturally, always swinging. Enjoy this book, then go listen to his music!" - Don BradenJazz Musician/Composer/EducatorMusic Director, Wachovia Jazz For Teens, the Litchfield Jazz CampVisiting Professor, Prins Claus Conservatoire It's a fascinating, and unique story. I have had the privilege of producing seven of Valery's recordings since 1985. Not only is he a great trumpet player and composer, but also an inspirational bandleader who gets the very best out of anyone who plays with him. Just listen to on his Profile CD, and you will see what I mean.Dr. Mark Feldman (Reservoir Music.)
