Starred Review "Juan Esquivel is no longer a household name, but in the 1950s and 1960s, his innovative lounge music was pervasive. ...This audiobook version of the picture book biography is magical." School Library Journal

ALA Odyssey Award for Excellence in Audiobook Production "Listeners will start grinning from the very first words of this production as narrator Dion Graham and author/artist Christopher Myers talk over each other, jockeying to introduce the story. Two young friends hit the basketball court to play a game of H.O.R.S.E. and trade trash talk--an impossible game that quickly moves beyond the court into the realm of the fantastic and all the way into outer space." -AudioFile Magazine

ALA Odyssey Honor Award "Andrews refers to creating "a musical gumbo," and the metaphor represents this audiobook perfectly. There is the richness, variety, and spice of this New Orleans dish in Bryan Collier's mixed-media illustrations, the vocal range of Graham's reading, and the lively music and animated soundscape."
