Summary
"In this heartbreakingly honest memoir, acclaimed jazz musician Harold Battiste Jr. revisits the highs and the lows of an unparalleled career. Born and raised in New Orleans, Battiste has served as an ambassador for the city's jazz tradition--and the African-American artists at the heart of that tradition--from East coast to West, classroom to studio, soundstage to set"--Page 2 of cover.
