(3) PS "Saxophone jive, / Keep us alive. / Pluck a fat bass, / Play me an ace." Rhyming couplets introduce readers to the rhythms of jazz in 1930s Harlem. Representing the music, abstract forms in psychedelic colors randomly dance against a gray-black cityscape at night. The sophisticated artwork features folks of all ages and jazz greats in cameo appearances. The final spread speaks of the influence of jazz in contemporary music.
