(2) K-3 Illustrated by Ed Young. Golio distills the relationship between John "Diz" Gillespie and Charlie "Bird" Parker into one electric jam session, detailing the back-and-forth nature of their improvisational synthesis in expressive, vibrant language. Young's uninterrupted frieze on accordion-bound heavy paper stock extends from the covers in a continuous panel. The words and imagery capture the controlled, explosive frenzy of their musical collaboration. An afterword offers more straightforward information.
