The Band in Our Basement Social Science / Ethnic Studies - American - African American & Black Studies / Music / History & Criticism / History / African American & Black Before long they are reportedIn this rollicking, rhyming picture book, a pair of siblings who are supposed to be in bed discover a jazz band playing in their basement The sounds downstairs are funky and we start to wiggle toes. We flip flop and we giggle with sheets up to the nose. The rhythms steady, the trumpets sweet. Before too long, were on our feet! After hearing Daddys band practicing in the basement, a brother and sister cant resist sneaking out of bed to watch them play.
