    A book by someone who knows.

    This is not a vanity interview. Niles is well known in the international music world. His interviews on BBC with International stars have been extremely informative. This book is a must for any aspiring musicians.
    I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and it has found a place in my permanent music library. Looking forward to more from Niles.
