Lady Bird (novel) and Songs from Lady Bird (CD):
“A harmonica moaned, reaching deep inside. Down-home bass throbbed from the radio to her chest. Honey locked into the steady pulse, released into its space, exhaled.”
With one breath, Lady Bird, a story of three women begins in word and sound. Honey, a songbird of rare quality, soars out of segregated Eastern North Carolina only to face deep betrayal and the high price of her talent. Her daughter Passion writhes under Honey’s shadow, taking dangerous turns to avoid the musical salvation that is her birthright. At a desperate time, a straight-laced stranger named Freida enters Passion’s world and becomes, in one afternoon in Brooklyn , the chance for peace that Honey defies death to seize. In the final section, “Naming thunder and wind,” Freida’s past threatens Honey’s supernatural intervention in a struggle for Freida’s identity and her newly freed heart.
Through the power of the women’s tales, the novel follows the fourth central character, the music. Each chapter is a song, building into three sets that form the lyric soul of the women’s lives, tracing the legacy of the music with the complexity and varied pace of jazz. http://www.pearlstreetpublishing.com/LadyBird.htm
This debut novel from Sheryl Mebane and first CD from Tangria Jazz Group are intimately linked. Tangria has put its unique stamp on many of the jazz pieces from the book, and, with an original by Sheryl Mebane added in from the world of percussion, Songs from Lady Bird stands alone as a journey in its own right or as an audio accompaniment to the book.
