THE REVIEWS ARE IN!
JaRon,
I have read Jazz Conversations by JaRon Eames thoroughly and enjoyed it
tremendously. The story is well told and it holds the reader's attention
without any interruption. In fact, I read the book at a single sitting.
Mr. Eames tells a story which is at times troubling and shocking, but he
doesn't evade the truth, and it is to his credit. There are other moments
of laughter and delight which tend to balance the book nicely. I would
heartily recommend this book to those who are jazz enthusiasts.
Sincerely,

JaRon,
I just want to send a note about how much I enjoyed your book, I laughed in your life story part until I couldn't breath, Thanks , but I also cried because i realized how much you have endured, but was thankful that God has always been in your life.. I was also thankful that you helped us to understand that we don't have to be perfect in order for God to love us. I really enjoyed it and would ask that people pick up a copy for their own entertainment in reading a good juicy true story.The next part of the book was very good with all these wonderful giants who people have forgotten and can now pay respect to by listening to their stories of what they brought to the jazz world in sharing their gifts and talents and all they endured as well. The information was great , I lot of things I didn't even know whick helps me to know Jaron did his home work.
So i wish for you Jaron to have the best of success in life , you do deserve it.
Love & grace,

No doubt that JaRon Eames's new book will reach those interested in the historical record of the many jazz legends Mr. Eames has interveiwed on his weekly television show over the years. His probing conversations with these icons of jazz, in their own words, provide us with insights that would be hard to match. This is a must read for all music lovers! Mr. Eames, a most gifted jazz vocalist in his own right, has also given us a self portrait that is juicey, revealing and delicious!

If you are looking for a book about the Jazz world look no further. This is the most engaging book I have ever read about the music world. It is not dry, boring or academic. His writing has so much soul just like the way he sings. Google him to see video clips of this great musician and his CDs are sold on Amazon.

JaRon has created a wonderful piece of work. His life-story is written in a very fluent and touching style - it's grasping the reader because of its 'witty and charming'
atmosphere that
demands to keep reading. Amazing what he has been through and how he can talk about it today.
All his interviews with these wonderful jazz musicians give an exclusive insight of their
lives and philosophy that made it possible to create magnificent jazz music. You get the feeling you really understand the background of many songs and situations. Very special!
Unfortunately his book has not been translated into German.
