Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

David Sadzin’s performance in 'Better Days Will Come Again' is nothing short of exceptional. His deep baritone conveys a sense of gravitas and warmth as he recounts Briggs’ life journey—from the gritty streets of Harlem to the opulent salons of Paris, each scene comes alive under his skilled narration. Atria's writing style is both poetic and precise, making the narrative flow seamlessly between historical facts and personal anecdotes. The pacing is brisk but never rushed, allowing for moments of reflection amidst a fast-paced narrative. However, some might find the sheer volume of historical details overwhelming at times, which could slow down the overall listening experience. Despite this minor critique, 'Better Days Will Come Again' remains an enthralling journey through jazz history that audiobook enthusiasts and history buffs alike will undoubtedly enjoy.
