p 17 2nd paragraph "being in time... When you are in time you know when to be quiet, when to assert yourself, and how to master the moment with an appropriate or unusually inventive response. Fast-thinking comedians can do that. So can athletes who make intelligent decisions that involve teamwork even though the pressure of the clock makes them want to do something solitary and, generally stupid."

p 75 "Too many young musicians today think learning to play scales on chords is jazz."

Marsalis è coerente e onesto per come si avvicina allo scrivere di jazz nello stesso modo tradizionalista e conservatore proprio del suo suonarlo. In ciò rientrano (e si può dire che ci stiano) alcune opinioni non troppo condivisibili su alcuni musicisti (vedi l'ultimo Miles) e su alcuni approcci (il free, il jazz rock). Il problema è che proprio per questa coerenza rispetto alle idee del personaggio il libro risulta poco riuscito, soprattutto per i neofiti del jazz (cui immagino si rivolga). Per loro il libro è solo apparentemente utile, perché se è vero che fornisce qualche indicazione utile (la ben fatta nomenclatura iniziale, l'abbozzo di una discografia legata a specifici musicisti nella parte finale), rischia anche di portare fuori strada proprio per via delle opinioni troppo parziali e nette che esprime. Quanto agli "esperti", non ci troveranno certo informazioni particolarmente nuove o utili, ma solo opinioni da condividere o meno. Per tutti, neofiti o "esperti", risulteranno noiose e mal riuscite le parti in cui Marsalis cerca di "filosofare" sul jazz applicato alla vita.… (altro)

How do you convey the idea of sounds through only words? Marsalis, the renowned jazz musician and composer, makes a terrific effort here with an astounding collection of onomatopoeic verses describing the output of musical instruments and everyday sounds.

[Onomatopoeic things sound like or suggest just what they mean. Common onomatopoeias include animal noises such as oink, meow, roar, and chirp.]

Two-page spreads contain large colorful fonts for the sounds depicted:

“Big trucks on the highway RRRRUMBLE.
Hunger makes my tummy GRrruMBle.”

The narrator, a young boy of color living in New Orleans, describes a typical day:

“Chrrrick chrrrick chrrrick chrrrick — buttering my toast. Krrrick krrick krrrick krrrick - quick where it itches the most."

The final spread features a veritable symphony of sounds in an implied loud and noisy crescendo.

Illustrator Paul Rogers uses joyful images to fill in some background for us and to add some jazz references for afficionados. In an interview about the book, Rogers said:

“The drawings are hugely influenced by the great Cliff Roberts, especially his illustrations for Langston Hughes’ First Book of Jazz from 1955. One of the early decisions I made was to have the story take place in New Orleans, Wynton’s hometown and a city we both love. This setting made it believable to have music on the street and all around the neighborhood.”

Evaluation: Kids aged 3 and up and/or their parents reading to them will have a blast sounding out the words in the book. They will also learn there is music everywhere - not just from instruments. Additionally, they will add to their vocabularies and word recognition skills.
