Summary	This extremely well researched and written book delves into the life and musicality of James Morrison, one of Australia's most internationally acclaimed musicians. It follows his development from a child who cried each day in primary school to a confident performing maestro. James discovered his natural talent early and was playing international jazz festivals in his teens. He has the unique ability to play a variety of instruments to world-class standard while maintaining an affable and effervescent approach to his multi-faceted life. In his spare time he flies planes, loves boating, abseiling and gadgetry and has completed a triathlon, but above all he is a musician par excellence. This book critically examines his qualities, both musical and personal, his development and his rise to the highest echelons of music of every jazz genre.
