Travis's dad is a DJ, spinning silky jazz tunes at parties all over
the neighbourhood. The two of them have always enjoyed debating the
great question: Which Black music tradition is the best - Travis's
boppin' hip-hop or Dad's beloved jazz? But Travis's parents have
divorced, and Dad lives on his own now. He's only a few miles away,
but for Travis, the distance between jazz and hip-hop feels greater
than ever. Music doesn't sound the same. Mum says they just need to
find a new groove. But how? Maybe through a little hip-hoppin',
not-stoppin', tunes-boppin' DJing. Based in part on Brown's
experience as a single father, this picture book deftly depicts
modern divorce in a Black family, and is a heartwarming ode to how
music can bring a father and son closer together.
