Don Drummond - The Genius and Tragedy of the World's Greatest Trombonist (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 12 - 17 working days

This is a comprehensive biography of a brilliant musician and his
lover who forever shaped the course of ska, reggae, and popular
music worldwide despite poverty, class separation, mental illness,
racial politics, exploitation, and sexism that resulted in murder.
Through the words of Don Drummond's childhood friends, classmates,
musicians, medical staff, legal counsel, and teachers, comes a
first-hand story of his ""unusual mind."" They recall the early
days in the recording studio, playing the instrumental backup for
Bob Marley and others, and the nights in the Rasta camps where
musicians burned the midnight oil and more. They roam the halls of
the primitive and haunting mental hospitals; remember the gyrations
of his lover, Margarita, the Rumba Queen, as she tantalised
audiences at Club Havana; tell what happened that tragic night when
Drummond stabbed Margarita four times; reveal details of the trial
(delayed more than a year as Drummond was ruled mentally unfit) and
offer insights into the ways that Drummond likely died in the
asylum at age 35.
