FROM SARAH:

The vivid, lively illustrations in this picture book biography just sing. You can almost hear the music pouring off of every page. I highly recommend putting on some of Melba’s incredible music when you finish this one.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

A biography of African American jazz virtuoso Melba Doretta Liston, a pioneering twentieth-century trombone player, composer, and music arranger at a time when few women, of any race, played brass instruments and were part of the jazz scene.
