About this title

Synopsis

The blues. It's that low-down feeling that makes you ache from your soul to the soles of your shoes. Here in the voice of a grandfather passing on a legacy to a younger generation, renowned author Julius Lester introduces ten of the hottest black blues singers of our time. The diva Aretha Franklin, the legendary Billie Holiday, and the fabulous B.B. King are just a taste of what's in store.

About the Author

Julius Lester's books for adults and children have garnered many awards. His To Be a Slave was a Newbery Honor Book and John Henry received the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award. Mr. Lester lives in western Massachusetts.

Lisa Cohen is the illustrator of Little Lil and the Swing-Swinging Sax. Ms. Cohen resides in New Orleans with her husband and daughter.

Store Description

These volumes represent the cream of my aunt's voluminous collection, which includes signed first editions from a friend's defunct Lincoln City store, antiquarian tomes a Reed professor bequeathed decades ago, and the art & design section of downtown Portland's long-lamented NorWester Bookshop. Given spatial constraints, I've little choice but to liquidate the inventory she spent a lifetime accumulating, but my dilemma opens opportunities for the right consumer. Shop freely and enjoy in her memory!
