My new memoir is about many things--race, identity, family, love, and Dr. King's vision of beloved community. But it also about the blues: a young harmonica player's immersion in the blues/jazz world of 1980's Harlem. https://www.amazon.com/My-Family-I-Mississippi-Memoir/dp/B0DGF7LNLT/ https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/My-Family-and-I/Adam-Gussow/9798888457658
