Singer and vocalist Cortez (who was married to Ornette Coleman) book of poetry.

    "Jayne Cortez's Blues speak of a poet who knows where she is coming from and where she is going - an exact sense of place. Jayne Cortez's pantheon - Nicolas Guillen, Babs Gonzales, Aime Cesaire, Ana Mendieta, Big Mama Thornton, Rosita Morales, Miles Davis - is a pantheon of music and struggle. In Somewhere in Advance of Nowhere, Jayne Cortez has found riffs to respond to the epic demands of her muse."
