KD: A Jazz Biography

[Oncewasaplayer]

This is unusual and should be very interesting: a biography of the great Kenny Dorham. What makes this unusual is it's a book-length poem written in rhymed quatrains (four-line stanzas). I've met a number of talented poets who are also jazz fans and they often write about musicians in their books. I'll report back once I've read it.

I wish an effort had been made to publish a traditional biography first.
