A collection of poetry, music and literature.

Enjoyable, but not in a contiguous novel style as I preferred to listen or read.

A beautiful tribute to the greats!

I enjoyed the blend of the poetry and music. Essays were incorporated as well. As someone obsessed with 1920s Harlem, I can say this recording took me back in time.
