Nonfiction. "This is not just the biography of a talented jazz musician, but a fascinating chronicle of the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of a few committed individuals who tried to create beauty in a land of hostility and segregation. Chris McGregor understood that music is more than an organization of sound, it is a measure of human relationships, and can be used to inspire and exhilarate as well as heal. Maxine McGregor's vivid descriptions of their world, and the many passages in Chris's own words, give us insight into the mind of a man for whom music was as natural and necessary as the air we breathe"--Art Lange (co-editor of Moment's Notice: Jazz in Poetry and Prose).
