The large illustrations and their color contrast with the words of the poem and its background create an appealing layout, but in no way take away from the power of the word choice. Myers chooses to pair each of his poems with a bright and bold illustration representing some aspect of the poem, whether it is the person being described, the instruments, the emotions depicted, or the historical settings. The vivid colors and detailed paintings give light to the original setting of their performance and the beauty of their styles that literally take the reader down the journey of the origins of Jazz. A glimpse of the history of Jazz performers is told and lived through the poems, giving insight into their character, personality and life events. Emotions of excitement, sorrow, adventure, love, and many more are read and felt through the words of Myers. The poem collection that is Jazz runs like a song from page to page.
