Reviews

Many clear voices, speaking with many accents but motivated by both knowledge and love, fill in a fascinating--if hitherto little-known--chapter from history. They speak (and sometimes almost sing) the story of California's unique involvement with black music, and these many pages come alive with the stories they tell. --Alan Rich, author and music critic, LA Weekly
