The long-awaited reissue of the sequel to Amiri Baraka's seminal work, Blues People.
"Baraka writes with the passion and lyricism that can only come from a jazz critic who is uncompromisingly invested in the social and aesthetic dimensions of the music."
--WBGO (Newark Public Radio)
"Jones has learned--and this has been very rare in jazz criticism--to write about music as an artist."
--Nat Hentoff
