Winner 2015 Annual American Graphic Design Award! The perfect way to introduce children to a truly American art form, and a work of art in its own right, J Is for Jazz is the cat's pajamas for all readers-little finger zingers through grown-up cats!
Be-bopping, lyrical introductions to key jazz figures, locations, musical terms, and a glossary of jazz slang are brought to life by author Ann Ingalls.
