"...the first book on jazz by a negro writer...new and highly provocative conclusions bolstered by bothe history and sociology...a must for all who could more knowledgeably appreciate and better comprehend America's most popular music, Negros in origin -Blues based- but now belonging to everybody."
Langston Hugues
"Blues people is not only a fresh, incisively instructive reinterpretation of Negro music in America, but it is also crucially relevant to Negro-white relationship today."
Nat Hentoff
"The first real attempts to place jazz and the blues within the context of American social history. Moreover, it represents one of the first efforts of a Negro writer to examine that relationship, and certainly one of the most exhaustive by any...
Blues People is American musical history; it is also American cultural, economic and even emotional history. It traces not only the development of the Negros music which affected white America, but also the Negro value which affected white America."
