The imaginary octet of Miles Davis, Max Roach, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Stanley Clarke, Ella Fitzgerald, and an unnamed guitarist take their places on stage. Music, in the form of patterns resembling African textile art, pours out of the instrumentalists and singer. The authors' note provides a brief biography of each musician. A CD features the text set to music.
