Jazz A Self-Portrait in Essays traces a life, not by recounting its major events but by going deep into its representative the moments of wonder, hope, fear, uncertainty, humor, love, and epiphany that make up human experience. Along the way, as a son of a single mother, as a young man in the big city, as a husband and father, as an aging empty-nester, and as an artist, the author discovers, with each new role, more of who he is. A lover of the arts, he offers creative reflections on literature, music, and film; a Black American whose life is informed but not defined by race, he embraces Black culture while remaining defiantly himself.
