Glass Enclosure

Résumé du livre

In this first English-language biography of Powell, Alan Groves and Alyn Shipton unearth one of the most heart-rending stories in jazz. They follow Powell's career from its early days in New York with Cootie Williams' big band to the heyday of bebop with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. They chart his subsequent slow decline, and his rehabilitation in Paris, the true story of the Powell legend that was the real-life background to Bertrand Tavernier's film Round Midnight.
