On the Flip Side of Sound Valery Ponomarev

Comments on the book: "Valery Ponomarev's story is electrifying and inspiring. Most of all, it's living proof that dedication to truth and beauty can and must triumph over artificially imposed impediments."Bob Bernotas (Jazz journalist, author, and radio host) Finally, the world gets to read Valery Ponomarev's story! The main points are that in addition to being a fine trumpet player, Valery is a skilled storyteller and that his story never fails to enchant, inform and inspire my students and that now the world will get to hear it.
