Conjure Blues

"These 'griot songs' by Jaki Shelton Green pay dignified homage to our ongoing history of struggle hope, resonate with the sultry delta blues that underscores the African American experience. Her words glisten on the page, court the tongue, and transform ink into the nourishment of inspiration. Enjoy."
