Editorial Review: Product Description: Jazz, like quilting, is a woven art form. Both genres produce textural harvests spun from the life fibers of masters of the imagination who create for our contemplation. Quiltmaking, as in jazz, evokes a host of complex rhythms and moods. Some quilt artists listen to jazz music while working on their quilts because the one form of artistic inspiration ignites in the other. When the two forms connect, the creative energy explodes exponentially. Textural Rhythms: Quilting the Jazz Tradition releases both the individual particles and the synergistic power of this explosion. The 83 quilts pictured include traditional, improvisational, and art quilts from some of the countries best known African American quilters. Textural Rhythms: Quilting the Jazz Tradition unite the two most well known, and popular artistic forms in African American culture jazz and quilts. These quilt artists have harnessed in cloth the spirit of jazz, and let us feel, hear, and see jazz music. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Excellent Holiday Gift IdeaI have an autographed copy and have personally seen many of the original pieces featured in the book and I plan to buy more copies for my creative friends who enjoy the mixture of African-American history and the tradition of quilting! This high quality coffee table book will never leave my nightstand. It's a source of comfort and a huge dose of hope and inspiration to crafters of any income, ethnic or skill level.
