Today I learned that the Museum of African American shortlisted "Brassroots Democracy" for the Stone Book Award, in the company of so many brilliant and vital books. Winners will be announced in October. So grateful to the committee for reading this love letter to jazz.

@alz_zyd_ Well, just that the difference between reading a ChatGPT summary and reading the text is like loading a game with maxed out characters versus going through the leveling process. The point is not primarily or only the take away but the cognitive mapping from long term engagement.
