Cover of LeRoi Jones: Blues People (ePUB)

In this essential and impassioned text, Le Roi Jones traces the intertwined development of blues and jazz music with the history of its creators in ‘White America’. As important and relevant as at its first publication in 1963, it shows how music and its people are inseparable – expressing and reflecting the other, surviving and adapting through oppression.
