Evocative journey through jazz history in pictures.

If you're looking to immerse yourself in the vibrant world of jazz through a visual and poetic experience, "The Sound That Jazz Makes" weaves together the history and impact of this musical genre in a way that captivates and educates.

Two acclaimed picture book talents combine in this award-winning journey through the history and legacy of jazz, the unique American musical art form. Carole Boston Weatherford’s poetic text is perfectly matched with Eric Velasquez’s powerful oil paintings. From an African drum to a slave ship to a Harlem nightclub, The Sound That Jazz Makes explores the African-American experience that gives jazz its passion and spirit.
