Smooth Jazz Propels Authors’ Great Stories
There’s nothing like smooth jazz to propel great stories. As I sit back and read The Iraq I Knew… (or whatever book it is) and listen to the soulful sounds of Grover Washington, Jr., I’m now watching the movie in my mind, complete with a soundtrack. Actually, Smooth Jazz Propels Authors’ Great Stories for many readers and listeners alike. This creative combination equals the Polyrhythm Jazz and Heritage Festival merged with the Black Authors Forum.
