The Sound That Jazz Makes | Carole Boston Weatherford

2 posts | 4 read | 2 to read

A symphony of sound and color, The Sound That Jazz Makes is an eloquently rendered celebration of a remarkable heritage. Author Carole Boston Weatherford's lyrical stanzas combine with the power of luminous oil paintings by Coretta Scott King New Talent winner, Eric Velasquez (The Piano Man) to trace the development of jazz. From African forests to wooden slave ships to Harlem nightclubs, the tragic and joyous legacy of the African-American experience gives jazz its passion and spirit.

A perfect fusion of poetry and art. Weatherford writes short poems that match the art of Eric Velasquez perfectly, and in just a few lines pays tribute to the roots of jazz. Ragtime, blues, Dixieland, swing, gospel, bebop, and even rap are given mention.
