This incredible work from the award winners behind Before She was Harriet includes a poster of jazz music's greatest talents.

By: Lesa Cline-Ransome | Illustrator: James E. RansomeBrassy, smokey, melodious. There's nothing like the saxophone. This incredible work from the award-winners behind Before She was Harriet includes a poster of jazz music's greatest talents.
You may think that the story of the saxophone begins with Dexter Gordon or Charlie Parker, or on a street corner in New Orleans. It really began in 1840 in Belgium with a young daydreamer named Joseph-Antoine Adolphe Sax—a boy with bad luck but great ideas.
Coretta Scott King Honoree Lesa Cline-Ransome unravels the fascinating history of how Adolphe's once reviled instrument was transported across Europe and Mexico to New Orleans. Follow the saxophone's journey from Adolphe's imagination to the pawn shop window where it caught the eye of musician Sidney Bechet and became the iconic symbol of jazz music it is today.
Deflty retold, this history is paired with the gorgeous artwork of James E. Ransome, including an attention-grabbing poster of iconic jazz musicians you can find inside the jacket.

Perfect

I can’t use the holders that drain in the sink. This works perfectly for my needs.

Great item!
Color: Black
The only thing that would make this item better would be for it to come with the soap dispensers. My current ones didn't fit it in, so I had to swap. I really like the drip tray to make cleaning it easier!

Super functional AND looks great!
Color: Black
This really does it all. It looks great and holds hand soap, a small bottle of dish soap and the various brushes for doing dishes and cleaning straws but it also has slots for things like a sponge or the drain plugs. All things contained neatly in one spot. The pull out drip tray is perfect and easy to pull out to clean. So far, it has kept its finish and have had no issues with peeling or the black coming off like some have done in past.
