"Jazz," winner of the first-ever Odyssey Award for Excellence in Audiobook Production/American Library Association, features performances by jazz vocalists James "D-Train" Williams and Vaneese Thomas. The history of jazz is presented in a series of fifteen poems that are read and sung, against a backdrop of original music that sets the appropriate mood and tone for each of the varied pieces. The result is a celebration through poetry, art, and music that reflects the heart and soul of the many styles of jazz in a glowing tribute to a truly American art form.
