David Amram-composer, jazz artist, conductor, and world music
pioneer-has been described by the Boston Globe as "the Renaissance
man of American music." From early collaborations with Kerouac and
Sinatra, chosen by Leonard Bernstein as the New York Philharmonic's
first composer in residence, Amram's artistry has taken him from
concerts with Willie Nelson to jamming with the Massai tribe of
Kenya. In Upbeat: Nine Lives of a Musical Cat, Amram recounts his
extraordinary adventures in the many worlds of music he calls home,
all told in a rollicking anecdotal style that makes you feel that
you are at home around the world. He writes, "Everywhere I have
been in the world, music transcends politics. As musicians, we were
able to go beyond all that and just be fellow human beings."
Threading through Amram's tale of music, hard work, respect, and
friendship are unforgettable stories of fellow great artists-Dizzie
Gillespie, Hunter S. Thompson, Janet Gaynor, George Plimpton, Lyle
Lovett, Zoe Caldwell, Willie Nelson, and many more.
