Hampton Hawes [1928-1977] was one of jazz's greatest pianists.
Among his peers from California the self-taught Hawes was second
only to Oscar Peterson. At the time of his celebration as New Star
of the Year by downbeat magazine (1956), Hawes was already
struggling with a heroin addiction that would lead to his arrest
and imprisonment, and the interruption of a brilliant career. In
1963 President John F. Kennedy granted Hawes an Executive Pardon.
In eloquent and humorous language Hampton Hawes tells of a life of
suffering and redemption that reads like an improbable novel. Gary
Giddins has called it "a major contribution to the literature of
jazz." This book includes a complete discography and eight pages of
photographs.
