New York. 1991. Harmony Books. 1st Printing. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 0517577933. 211 pages. hardcover. keywords: African American Literature Women America. DESCRIPTION - Amid the new breed of BMW-driving, black urban professionals of 1990s San Francisco, suffocated by the sweet wine cooler sound of black fusion muzak, Kat, a young pianist with an acute case of com- poser's block, is sorely in need of inspiration. She finds it in the jazz past of the 1940s and in a soul sister named Kitty, a young woman whose problems parallel her own at a time of dandies duded up in bigknotted ties/chest protectors flanked by flat-map labels of double breasted suits. the sharpest togged cats in. lisle handclocked socks, tucked into Stacy Adams and Florsheims - fine fancy kicks for cats on the move to a groove of their own. Kat is dealing with used-up men and recalcitrant landlords, Kitty is breathing the same air as the jazz greats and making love to Chicago, a sax player from the legendary Billy Eckstine's band. Bit by bit, Kitty infuses Kat's life with the spontaneity and easy grace of a Coltrane improvisation. For nearly half a century, critics have been uniting for the arrival of a writer who would do for fiction what jazz poets Bob Kaufman, Ted Joans, John Gould Fletcher, and Langston Hughes have done for poetry. She's here! Xam CartiEr is as exciting, riveting, and original as a Max Roach solo. She is to writing what Betty Carter and Sarah Vaughan are to music. - ISHMAEL REED. inventory #23348 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket.
