Ted Joans - A Black Manifesto in Jazz Poetry and Prose - back coverFrom the back cover:
“This volume is evidence of some of the many talents of Ted Joans, painter, poet, jazzman. Though the mood varies from fierce pride in the Black Power Manifesto to critical enthusiasm in Jazz Expo, to the often lyrical perceptiveness of the poetry, there is an underlying similarity between all three: the powerful and unbroken rhythmic line which carries both prose and poetry forward like a subtle musical beat. These are works to be read aloud, to be listened to with the unrestrained ear reserved for the best of jazz.”
