Stan Levey - Jazz Heavyweight (Paperback)

The first biography ever written of Stan Levey - widely considered to be one of the most influential drummers in the history of modern jazz. Levey played alongside a who's who of twentieth century jazz artists: Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis and so many more. This colourful volume follows Levey from his childhood in North Philadelphia as the son of a boxing promoter with ties to the mob, through his meteoric rise in the international jazz scene right up to his role in forming the genre, 'West Coast Jazz'.
