From the FOREWORD... As ludicrous as this may sound, this book isa competition between Jazz-an art form I havepracticed and played professionally for most of mylife, which many people consider to be an acquiredtaste itself-and numerous other subjects that mayhave the feel or vibe of an acquired taste to them. Though for some of these subjects, you will have touse your imagination a little to grasp the connectionto an acquired taste. Or a lot. Or not at all, if yourea certain kind of person. Like, a little bit off is good.Or a lot. So relax, because who isnt? Each piece is written in the style of a narrativeeditorial, but expressed in the form of a poem, e.g., using stanzas and line breaks-like this one-and other elements of poetry as well, such as clichés-those old familiar sayings used to help the readerunderstand what the writer is talking about. Know what Im saying? More Comments..."Hal Crook is the king of irony, has a beautiful smile, writes a mean poetorial, and can spell loquacious and empty a trombone spit valve simultaneously." Paul Hostovsky, author of Pitching for the Apostates"Should anyone be surprised that a jazzman-turned-author like Hal Crook-a musician famous for improvising-should start riffing on the very form of poetry, as he does in ADVENTURES IN POETRY: Poetorials on JAZZ and Other Acquired Tastes, transforming that art into a sweet but changed instrument for argument, meditation, edu- cation, and whimsy?
