"As a commentator on American music, and African American music in particular, Baraka occupies a unique niche. His intelligence, critical sense, passion, strong political stances, involvement with musicians and in the musical world, as well as in his community, give his work a quality unlike any other. As a reviewer and as someone inside the movement, he writes powerfully about music as few others can or do."--Steven L. Isoardi, author of "Central Avenue Sounds: Jazz in Los Angeles" "Every jazz musician who has endured beyond changing fashions and warring cultures has had a signature sound.
