To Albert Murray the blues is not about suffering but about transcendence through sheer style pinpointed in the work of such as Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Romare Bearden, Ernest Hemingway. Murray demolishes our stereotypes about art, race, and what it means to be human in an intelligent and whirlwind tour of American culture.
