About this title: Ludlow Washington has been blind from childhood. Growing up in a state home, he learns the piano and then the horn. His talent saves him from a life of poverty and thrusts him into limelight at Harlem nightclubs, where the hardness of his life as a blind man, and as a black man, enriches his musical gifts. There, Ludlow Washington becomes a visionary jazz musician.
