Book (Item 491531) HarperCollins, 2005 -- Condition: New Copy

A biography of one of the great artists of the 20th Century -- the hugely important jazz improvisation pioneer Dizzy Gillespie -- by jazz biographer Donald L Maggins. Maggins is as genuine a lover and promoter of classic jazz, having also written a bio of Stan Getz and working as jazz concert promotor. Here he details Gillespie's evolving contributions to the jazz world from his early days, to his pioneering work in bebop, to his unrivaled personality as an entertainer, the depths of his unhealthy appetites, to the finale of his life and enduring legacy. Paperback, 421 pages. (Remainder mark on spine.)  © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
