Half-blood blues

Edugyan, Esi. (Author). Riley, Kyle. (Narrator). Recorded Books, LLC. (Added Author).

83-year-old Sid Griffiths remembers his time during WWII playing in a Berlin jazz band called the Hot Time Swingers. When jazz music was denounced by the Nazis, Sid and his bandmates fled to Paris--a move that put Hieronymous, the band's brilliantly talented trumpeter, in constant danger due to his Afro-German heritage.
