A book like no other, American Blues, Jazz and Soul Food, by Ron Rudison, features diverse soul food, blues and jazz establishments throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southern United States. It surveys the music and the food across a landscape that is virtually a century-wide timeline. His thorough research, spanning 20 years, provides an intimate glimpse of the history, products, services and strategies that have resulted in success and widespread acclaim for the venues that have been highlighted.
The best soul food restaurants have always been anchors of their respective communities, and for this reason, the establishments in this book have been selected as much for their cultural ambiance as for the quality of their food and the selection on their menus.-Ron Rudison
Celebrating three art forms that are embroidered within our culture, American Blues, Jazz and Soul Food also honors the entrepreneurs that have nourished these art forms.
