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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51433892643039,"sku":"9781560253532","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/jUx6hZJr5-9781560253532.webp?v=1790020624","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/raise-up-off-me-a-portrait-of-hampton-hawes-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
