Jean-Michel Pilc, jazz pianist and faculty member of Steinhardt School, New York University, has written a remarkable book about the artistic and creative process in the arts.

From ages 8 to 86, trumpet players have contributed little “lessons” they’ve learned about the trumpet, music and life to this collection.
