Jazz (Paperback)

Combining Walter Dean Myers?s invigorating, quicksilver poetry with his son Christopher?s deliciously vivid, energetic paintings, this beautifully illustrated picture book is filled with 15 poems dedicated to jazz, jazz, and more jazz. The poems include the very notion of this powerful form of music in Jazz, an ode its scintillating energy in Be-Bop, and Three Voices, dedicated to the bass, the piano, and the horn. With a glossary. A 2007 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Book, as well a 2006 Publishers Weekly Book of the Year and a Best Kirkus Children`s Book of 2006. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
