Young John Coltrane was all ears. And there was a lot to hear growing up in the South in the 1930s: preachers praying, music on the radio, the bustling of the household. These vivid noises shaped John's own sound as a musician. Carole Boston Weatherford and Sean Qualls have composed an amazingly rich hymn to the childhood of jazz legend John Coltrane.

"Before John Was a Jazz Giant" is a 2009 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Book and a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

Recenzii

"Weatherford's evocative poem traces Coltrane's influences simply and stunningly. Qualls's muted palette of rich hues suggests the smoky jazz moods he would create."--"School Library Journal"" ""Even children who are unfamiliar with jazz in general and John Coltrane in particular may find their interest piqued."--"Horn Book" "Will echo with contemporary children, who will recognize the music in their daily lives."--"Booklist" "This is as much a subtle invitation for children to listen to their own worlds as it is a Coltrane biography."--"Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"
