When I heard of the death of Maya Angelou today, I thought of the track from Branford Marsalis' 1994 album, Buckshot LeFonque. Ms. Angelou reads her poem, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings", with Marsalis' band providing the background music and vocals. It remains a favorite of mine and I offer it as a tribute to America's poet laureate.
Thanks to JoanMar who instructed me on how to imbed this video.
