Résumé du livre
"Lowery came from hardscrabble black settlers in Kansas. His family created an environment in which he could develop his musical talent. His life follows the evolution of American music via the circus, minstrelsy, and the vaudeville stage. From 1895 through 1942, he made his name not only as a musician but also as an author, columnist, teacher, showroom, and entrepreneur. H.C. Brown of the Boston Conservatory called him the "World's Greatest Colored Cornet Soloist.""
