{"product_id":"raise-up-off-me-a-portrait-of-hampton-hawes","title":"Raise Up Off Me: A Portrait of Hampton Hawes","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1560253533\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1560253533.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hawes, Hampton|Asher, Don|Giddins, Gary\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
