ISBN: 9780195102871 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It was none other than Louis Armstrong who said, "These people who make the restrictions, they don't know nothing about music. It's no crime for cats of any color to get together and blow."

"If you accept that premise, well then what you're saying is that maybe black people can only play jazz. And black people, like anyone else, can be anything they want to be."
