Description: "Tony Williams, Billy Taylor, Dorothy Rudd Moore, Bobby McFerrin, Jeffrey Mumford, and others share the stories of their lives and musical philosophy in conversations with one of their own. From the early influences in their lives, whether musical or otherwise, through their struggles against a society that has marginalized composers of color from the very beginning, these talented musicians talk about what success means and why their fight is far from over."--BOOK JACKET.
