Steel Drumming at the Apollo: The Road to Super Top Dog

56 pp. | Lee | December, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-1-60060-124-8 $22.00
(4) 4-6 Photographs by Ellen B. Senisi. Seven young men in a steel drum band practice hard and make it to Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater. The text lacks focus when discussing each person's background, though it does give a personal spin to the contest, as do photos of the performers in action. Sidebars include interesting Apollo history. A CD of the group is included.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
