Before john was a jazz giant: a song of john coltrane - Carole Boston Weatherford

• O stea, bazat pe 1 voturi

Young John Coltrane was all ears.

And there was a lot to hear growing up in the South in the 1930s: preachers praying, music on the radio, the bustling of the household.

These vivid noises shaped John's own sound as a musician.

Carole Boston Weatherford and Sean Qualls have composed an amazingly rich hymn to the childhood of jazz legend John Coltrane.

Before John Was a Jazz Giant is a 2009 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Book and a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
