"Exuberant music, powerful narration, and image-filled poetry combine to create this extraordinary recording, winner of ALA's first Odyssey Award for excellence in audiobook production. Piano, drums, trombone, trumpet, and more intertwine to meticulously interpret each poem. The musical selection is impeccable, from the keening of mourners for old Bob Johnson, to the be-bop of Twenty-Finger Jack as he tickles the ivories, to the sultry tones of a love song. Don't miss this journey into jazz." The Horn Book
