Set in Kansas City, Missouri, during the Jazz Age of the 1920s and ’30s, Such Sweet Thunder is a majestic evocation of childhood and parental love told through the eyes of a remarkable boy, Amerigo Jones. This vivid portrait of an era marred by racial segregation and relentless, daily injustices is nonetheless rendered with love and longing for a time and place that was enriched by a vibrant, burgeoning, and widely influential African American culture and a fierce feeling for family and community.

Told from the perspective of a boy, Amerigo Jones, Such Sweet Thunder is set in Kansas City during the 1920s and '30s, an era marred by racial segregation and relentless daily injustices. And yet Vincent Carter's account of a black youth whose dreams collide with the bitter realities of the day is filled with love and longing for a time and place enriched by a vibrant, burgeoning, and widely influential jazz culture and a fierce feeling for family and community. When Richard Wright's widow, Elle, first read Such Sweet Thunder in the 1960s, she praised it as the first great picture of childhood by a black male writer. Such Sweet Thunder is a jazz song of a book whose sweeping orchestral feel and extended dialogue riffs make it unforgettable.

Such Sweet Thunder is a practical meditation guidebook designed to help ground readers in present moment awareness. Author, meditation teacher, and spiritualist Christopher Luard patiently guides his readers though a practice known in Tibet as The Primary Practice. Then chapter by chapter he meticulously outlines and details the very delicate stages of the Primary Practice. Christopher points out early on in the book that this practice does not belong to any one religion, spiritual teaching, or philosophy. This practice, or similar ones, can be found in all of the major spiritual traditions worldwide. Such Sweet Thunder itself reads as a meditation, so much so that if the reader is reading with an open mind and heart, the reader may indeed experience a shift in awareness. If the awakening process has already begun in the reader, Such Sweet Thunder will surely deepen that process.

“The Ellington Century is a wonderful journey through the world of music and art. If you are already an aficionado of Ellington's music, you will enjoy the author's informative and detailed analysis of the composer's work and musical influences. If you are less familiar, this book puts Ellington's music in perspective with the great ‘classical’ composers of the twentieth century. David Schiff's remarkable insight into the historical and musical parallels between these composers is a delight to read and his references are vast, from Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire and Stravinsky’s Agon to television’s Sesame Street. Schiff writes with a sense of humor and an enthusiasm for Ellington's music that comes out on every page.”—George Manahan, Music Director, American Composers Orchestra “David Schiff points us forward, observing that ‘Ellington’s music asks us to see with our ears and hear with our eyes.’ Writing as a composer and scholar, he has a gift for making complex ideas strikingly clear. His insights move across a huge terrain of twentieth-century culture, as he builds bridges in his musical and cultural analysis where many have not seen a connection. Yet each musical work, each artist, is given his or her equal due. In this sense, he has met the spiritual and cultural challenge of Ellington’s life work.”—Marty Ehrlich, Composer/Instrumentalist, Associate Professor of Improvisation and Contemporary Music, Hampshire College
