SynopsisHampton Hawes 1928-1977] was one of jazz's greatest pianists. Among his peers from California the self-taught Hawes was second only to Oscar Peterson. At the time of his celebration as New Star of the Year by downbeat magazine (1956), Hawes was already struggling with a heroin addiction that would lead to his arrest and imprisonment, and the interruption of a brilliant career. In 1963 President John F. Kennedy granted Hawes an Executive Pardon. In eloquent and humorous language Hampton Hawes tells of a life of suffering and redemption that reads like an improbable novel. Gary Giddins has called it "a major contribution to the literature of jazz." This book includes a complete discography and eight pages of photographs., Hampton Hawes [1928--1977] was one of jazz's greatest pianists.

I love HH’s music and I really enjoyed this book, too!
I’m a huge fan of Hampton Hawes. So, when I found out about this book, and saw what a great review it got, I had to buy it. I recently listened to all his CD’s for the umpteenth time, and now I’m about to read it again.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
