Lookin'
for Bird in the Big City by Robert Burleigh, Marek Los
(Illustrator)
From bridge
to street to subway, Miles Davis hears the king of bebop's music
so clearly he feels they must be destined to meet. Finally, when
it seems he has turned the last corner of the city, he finds him-Charlie
Parker, the most fantastic bird ever heard. Robert Burleigh's
soulful lyricism and Marek Los's bold brushstrokes combine to
create a brilliant portrait of what might have happened one fateful
night.
