My sax life

a memoir

Edición de la obra My sax life

"Propelled by jazz-fueled high spirits, Paquito D'Rivera's memoir soars and spins from memory to memory. Beginning with the story of his father - a classical saxophone virtuoso and an educator - and his own fame as a child prodigy, D'Rivera riffs on everything from his childhood nightclub appearances, performing with clowns and exotic dancers, to his search for artistic freedom in Communist Cuba and his hungry explorations of world music after his defection to the United States in 1980. Opinionated, charming, lively, and humorous, like Paquito himself, My Sax Life is a fascinating look at a creative and talented artist."--Jacket.
