""Jazz Odyssey is a deeply impressive work of research. Borge has combed archives in four different countries and conducted numerous oral histories to track down an enormous amount of details about Booker T. Pittman’s life. He persuasively shows that Pittman is a fascinating figure whose life illuminates transnational cultural flows and understandings of race and cultural inheritance."" - Bryan McCann, coauthor of Latin America in the Modern World ""Buca’s story is amazing, and it’s all the more remarkable when his stepdaughter Eliana’s and wife Ofélia’s stories are brought into the fold."" - Marc A. Hertzman, author of Making Samba: A New History of Race and Music in Brazil
