Walter Dean Myers was one of the best-loved and most influential writers of his generation. Originally published 15 years ago, this Coretta Scott King Honoree Jazz now features a new introduction about the ground-breaking author written by his son, Christopher. In this book that sings with the rhythm and wordplay of jazz, fifteen poems, are paired with bold, stylized illustrations of performers and dancers to convey the history and breadth of this unique musical style. From bebop to New Orleans, from ragtime to boogie, and every style in between, Jazz takes readers on a musical journey from jazz' s beginnings to the present day. The book includes a brief introductory essay about the history and form of jazz, as well as a timeline and glossary of jazz terms.
