By the time she was a teenager, Melbas extraordinary gift for music led her to the world of jazz. She joined a band led by trumpet player Gerald Wilson and toured the country. Overcoming obstacles of race and gender, Melba went on to become a famed trombone player and arranger, spinning rhythms, harmonies, and melodies into gorgeous songs for all the jazz greats of the twentieth century: Randy Weston, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, and Quincy Jones, to name just a few.

Review * "Russell-Browns debut text has an innate musicality, mixing judicious use of onomatopoeia with often sonorous prose. Morrisons sinuous, exaggerated lines are the perfect match for Melbas story. . . Readers will agree that Melba Doretta Liston was something special." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review * "Music lovers will enjoy this picture-book biography of Melba Liston (1926-1999), child prodigy and virtuoso trombonist who collaborated with most 20th century jazz greats. An excellent match of breezy text and dynamic illustrations tells an exhilarating story. . . A celebration of the talent and success of a little-known African American female musician, this title will enrich library collections." -- School Library Journal, starred review * "Staccato rhythms pepper the fluid prose . . . Morrisons oil paintings practically sway with a jazz beat, though somber moments crop up, too: the shadows on Listons face signify the trials of life on the road. A final image showing long-limbed Liston in profile as she plays under the glow of stage lights is exquisite." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "In a smoothly passed narrative, this picture-book biography surveys the full life arc of a relatively unknown and unique jazz master. Brimming with inherent and inescapable enthusiasm, the oil-painting illustrations are the cats pajamas, with brassy colors and jazzy perspectives that slide across the long pages, like Melbas own instrument." -- Booklist * "A biographical read about a young woman who beat many odds due to her love of music. Perfect for burgeoning musicians and aficionados, and certainly for the nonfiction shelves." -- School Library Journal, starred review "Little Melba and Her Big Trombone will delight every child who carries a rhythm or song in their heart." -- San Francisco Chronicle Book Review "Little Melba and Her Big Trombone is a finger-popping slice of history that offers a peep-hole into the little-known world of a female jazz players of the 1920s." -- New York Journal of BooksCoretta Scott King Illustrator Award Honor - American Library Association (ALA) NAACP Image Awards Nominee - National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)ALSC Notable Childrens Books - American Library Association (ALA) Amelia Bloomer Book List - American Library Association (ALA) Best Books - Kirkus Reviews Best Books of the Year - School Library Journal Best Childrens Books of the Year Outstanding - Bank Street College of Education Best Multicultural Books - Center for the Study of Multicultural Childrens Literature Best of the Best Books - Chicago Public Library CCBC Choices - Cooperative Childrens Book Center (CCBC) Delaware Diamonds Awards - Diamond State Reading Association Eureka!
