Summary:	For almost half a century, Amiri Baraka has ranked among the most important commentators on African American music and culture. In this brilliant assemblage of his writings on music, the first such collection in nearly twenty years, Baraka blends autobiography, history, musical analysis, and political commentary to recall the sounds, people, times, and places he's encountered. As in his earlier classics, Blues People and Black Music, Baraka offers essays on the famousMax Roach, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltraneand on those whose names are known mainly by jazz aficionadosAlan Shorte.
