"Russo has undertaken an ambitious project, attempting to discuss together the elements of music that are commonly treated separately in books on harmony, counterpoint, and orchestration. As such, his new book contains enough musical instruction to be of interest even to students not particularly interested in 'jazz' or Russo's own musical idiom. For the student who wants to compose or arrange for 'jazz' ensembles from dance bands to full orchestras, Russo has shown himself to be a generous source of good advice."—Jon Newsom, Notes

University of Chicago Press

After an alien force totally modified and improved J.D. Lyle following a heart attack, he and his wife, Janie, leave his doctor's office and begin a short journey to let her drink some of that gray liquid that changed J.D. into his super-human form. On the way to his office where he kept this substance, the couple is hit head-on by a van. Janie's injuries appear to the kind that will result in her demise, but J.D. is essentially unscathed. Janie undergoes prolonged surgery for her multiple trauma and lies in ICU for several days as J.D. devises a way to get the gray liquid to her and somehow get it into to her body without any of the hospital staff seeing. How he goes about this and what Janie's final form will be will keep the reader fanning through the pages.
