This new book of previously uncollected poetry (1984-1995) demonstrates Baraka's gift for the music of thought, and reveals his continued mastery of tone and performance. Engaging in the primary issues of African-American music and contemporary politics, and imbuing his homages to such grand figures of America as Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Sarah Vaughn, Albert Ayler, and John Coltrane with a passion that has not abated over the years, Baraka glories in his own virtuosity.

Digging Afro American Be/At American Classical Music Amiri Baraka "Digging is an update on where American music has been over the last ten years according to Amiri Baraka. This book takes from Baraka's magazine articles, liner notes, essays and reflections. The point of departure is the notion of a classical mode, covering not only jazz figures such as Coltrane, Miles, and Ella, but also the stature of, for example, Bruce Springsteen.
