"Jazz Wise" magazine writes about the book...

Brian Priestley writes a review on "Jazz Wise" magazine of October issue with some positive appreciations ("well researched and well illustrated...") and some disapprovals.
I'm not agreed just with one thing, about my presumed invention of the expression "untied notes" because the journalist believes I accidentally refer to the form of "staccato". But "staccati" are sequences of notes not linked together, "a note of shortened duration, separated from the note that may follow by silence" (Wikipedia).
Taylor's piano notes in "Trio" album are 'untied' notes (i.e. listen to the incipit of "All you things you are"...) not 'staccati', because they have different times and beats...
