32 pp. | Roaring Brook/Flash Point/Porter | September, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-422-6 $17.99
(3) 4-6 "Dogs bark / Banjos talk / Dinners boil in black pots." Rhythmic, impressionistic text tells of Django Reinhardt, Belgium-born Roma musician who overcame a hardscrabble childhood and a hand injury to become the "world's greatest jazz guitarist." Christensen's atmospheric oil paintings are sketchlike, smoky, and unfinished at the edges--recalling jazz music itself. Additional biographical information concludes the book. Bib.
