In a swinging improvisation with poster artist Paul Rogers, Wynton Marsalis celebrates the spirit of twentysix stellar jazz performers, from Armstrong to Dizzy and showcases the same number of poetic forms.A is for almighty Louis Armstrong, whose amazing artistry unfolds in an accumulative poem shaped like the letter he stands for. As for sax master Sonny Rollins, whose robust style radiates roundness, could there be a better tribute than a poetic rondeau? In an extraordinary feat, Pulitzer Prizewinning jazz composer Wynton Marsalis harmonizes his love and knowledge of jazzs most celebrated artists with an astounding diversity of poetic forms from simple blues (Count Basie) to a complex pantoum (Charlie Parker), from a tender sonnet (Sarah Vaughan) to a performance poem snapping the rhythms of Art Blakey to life.Matching Wynton Marsaliss musical cadences note for note is the bold, posterstyle art of Paul Rogers, highlighted in two phenomenal foldout spreads. The arts vibrant nostalgic feel is echoed in an exquisite design, with its size simulating an old 78 LP and its endpapers diecut to mimic a vintage record sleeve. Complete with a discography and brief biographies of the featured musicians as well as notes on the various poetic forms, this is truly an incomparable gift book for older children learning about jazz, longtime jazz aficionados, lovers of poetry, and readers of all ages who appreciate the finest in book design. Back matter includes biographical sketches, notes on the poetic forms, and information about the author and the illustrator.
