Beginning with his childhood in segregation-era Washington D.C., Taylor recounts how he came of age as a jazz musician in smoke-filled clubs pulsating with the rhythms of bebop, and later climbed to world acclaim as an internationally recognized music educator and popular media figure. Through his life's work, Taylor fought not only for the recognition of Black musicians as key contributors to the American music repertoire.Jazz musiciansUnited StatesBiographyAutobiographies.lcgftBiographies.lcgftJazz musicians781.65092BTaylor Billy1921-2010.1495095Reed Teresa L.1964-1495096MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786232003321The jazz life of Dr. Billy Taylor3719095UNINA
