The First Book of Jazz
Posted: 21st January 2013 by socomic in Comic & Book CoversTags: children book, comic book for childrens, The First Book of Jazz, Jazz music, Langston Hughes
Το 1954 ο συγγραφέας, ακτιβιστής και ποιητής Langston Hughes αποφασίζει να διοχετεύσει την αγάπη του για τη JAZZ σε ένα “παιδικό” βιβλίο που περιέχει πληροφορίες για την κουλτούρα της συγκεκριμένης μουσικής. “The First Book of Jazz” ήταν το πρώτο “παιδικό” βιβλίο και ίσως το καλύτερο που ασχολείται με την JAZZ, γι’αυτό και θεωρήθηκε ένα φιλόδοξο και τολμηρό για την εποχή εγχείρημα.
Το βιβλίο περιέχει και μία μίνι συλλογή με JAZZ κομμάτια από τον ίδιο το συγγραφέα (cover τελευταίας εικόνας)

Girls and boys,
Come out to play,
The moon does shine
As bright as day.
Come with a hoop,
Come with a call,
Come with a good will,
Or not at all.
The Charles Addams Mother Goose,1967
